Dear Watertown Community & Girls Basketball Families,
We are excited to announce our 2026 Watertown Girls Basketball Shoe Drive Fundraiser! We are partnering with GotSneakers to collect used shoes. This fundraiser is a great way to support our program while also helping keep gently used shoes out of landfills and giving them a second life.
Fundraiser Dates
Start: September 1, 2026
End: November 1, 2026
Our Goal
As a program, our goal is to collect 3,000 pairs of shoes!
Each player is encouraged to set a personal goal. Every pair donated helps our team reach our goal and raises money for equipment, team activities, and program needs.
What Shoes Can Be Donated?
•We accept:
•Athletic shoes
•Casual shoes
•Dress shoes
•Boots
•Sandals
•Cleats
•Men’s, women’s, and children’s shoes
Please make sure shoes are:
•Gently used or new
•Clean and dry
•Paired together (tied together or secured with a rubber band)
We cannot accept:
•Shoes with holes
•Wet or moldy shoes
•Single shoes
•Rollerblades, skates, or ski boots
Don’t forget to check closets, garages, and basements—many families have shoes they no longer wear!
