The spirit of Christmas is about seeing the sparkle and wonderment reflected in a child's eyes.
The Krewe of Alegria exemplifies this spirit of giving through their Kicken' for Kids organization. The mission of Kicken' for Kids is to provide new shoes to children in the Tampa Bay Area.
Kicken' for Kids partners with Amy Mandell owner of Feet First (3401 W. Bay to Bay Blvd. 33629 813-835-1339) in South Tampa to purchase new Nike athletic shoes at a special rate in order to to distribute to the children.
On Thursday, December 19, 2013, the ladies from The Krewe of Alegria distributed shoes to Cleveland Elementary and Cornerstone Kids.
Shoes were also dropped off at Salesian Boys and Girls Club, and will be taken to Safety Harbor Center.
Through out the year The Krewe of Alegria raises funds for this endeavor by hosting several fundraisers. The most recent was Latin Nights in November, and the Cutest Pirate Dog Contest is coming up January 4, 2014.
