Community
Fleet Feet Sports Sacramento has supported the local fitness community for over 30 years. We are honored to to get to work with great local organizations and to create programs that support the pursuit of fitness for everyone.
Project Fit
Fleet Feet Sports' Youth Fitness Initiative
Young children are not getting the amount of exercise they require to keep their bodies and minds sharp and in shape. Schools have reduced physical education programs and recess times, and the allure of screen games and television is allowing our kids to develop sedentary lifestyles. This is a leading problem in increased childhood obesity and the development of diabetes.
Local Race Sponsorships
Each year Fleet Feet Sports Sacramento supports over 60 local walking and running events. Most of these events support local non-profit beneficiaries. Fleet Feet Sports is proud to help Sacramento area fitness enthusiasts enjoy a variety of quality walking and running events. We are glad to have supported worthy charities such as WEAVE, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Northern Area Dietetics Association and many others including the Sacramento Food Bank Services wherein over time Fleet Feet Sports has donated over $25,000 through the Run to Feed the Hungry.
Shoe Donation Programs
Fleet Feet Sports has organized shoe donation programs for at needs programs. Hundreds of shoes were collected via customers, our vendor partners and our own inventory to support the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Fleet Feet Sports covered the entire cost of shipping all the shoes to Fleet Feet Sports Jackson, MS who then delivered the shoes to the Gulf Coast. Collectively Fleet Feet Sports locations nationwide collected over 5,000 pair of shoes for this project. In addition, Fleet Feet Sports has organized similar projects for local High Schools Cross Country and Track & Field teams as well as local organizations such as Clean & Sober.
