A Day to Remember: Campers' Joy as They Receive Their First Ever Pair of NIKE Shoes

The sun shone brightly over the campgrounds as children gathered in eager anticipation. Thanks to the combined generosity of Good360 and Puddle Jumpers, these young campers were about to receive their first-ever brand-new pair of NIKE shoes.
For some, this moment was especially meaningful. Many kids had shoes that were too worn out, too small or had never owned a new pair before. As they lined up to receive their shoes, excitement filled the air. Volunteers from Good360 and Puddle Jumpers handed out the boxes, and each child’s name was called out with a smile.
The reactions were heartwarming. One young boy, whose shoes had been too small for months, immediately put on his new NIKEs, a look of relief and happiness on his face. A girl who had never had new shoes before hugged her box tightly, tears of joy in her eyes. Everywhere you looked, there were smiles and shouts of joy.
For these kids, the new shoes meant more than just comfort. They felt cared for and special. One camper even wrote a thank-you note to Good360 and Puddle Jumpers, saying, “I never thought I’d have shoes this cool. Thank you for making me feel special.”
The camp staff noticed an immediate change. With their new shoes, the kids ran faster, played harder, and walked taller. The shoes brought immense joy, comfort, and confidence to children who needed it most.
Thanks to Good360, Nike and Puddle Jumpers, this day became one of the happiest memories for these campers
