Support local SCHOLARSHIPS with Sneaker Drive
The American Association of University Women (AAUW-OML) is sponsoring a sneaker drive to raise money for their local high school (Miramonte, Campolindo, Acalanes) and Saint Mary’s College High Potential Program scholarships. These scholarships are based on community engagement and leadership. Drop-off containers for your old, used, out-of-date, or new sneakers are located at Moraga Hardware, Lafayette Veterans Memorial Center, and the Rossmoor gym. With your help, we can keep sneakers out of landfills, reduce toxic chemicals in our air and soil, and raise money to support our local scholarships. For more info call (925) 963-4523.
