LOCAL PLANET FITNESS LAUNCHES COMMUNITY SNEAKER DRIVE TO BENEFIT MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND AND NEW HAMPSHIRE YOUTH
Sneaker recycling drive runs Sept. 1-Oct. 31 at MA, RI and NH clubs, with all proceeds benefiting area Boys & Girls Clubs
WHAT:
Planet Fitness locations across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island are teaming up with GotSneakers to launch a sneaker recycling campaign from September 1 through October 31. The initiative encourages members and community residents to donate their gently used sneakers to help support local Boys & Girls Clubs while promoting sustainability.
Gently used sneakers can be dropped off in collection bins at participating Planet Fitness locations (noted below) throughout the month-long campaign. Once collected, the sneakers will be processed by GotSneakers, a national organization that recycles and reuses footwear to reduce landfill waste and promote sustainability. All proceeds from the donations will directly benefit local Boys & Girls Clubs, helping to fund essential programs and services for youth.
Planet Fitness is proud to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America as part of the brand’s national philanthropic initiative, Judgement Free Generation®, which aims to advance youth wellbeing and empower the next generation to create kinder communities. Since 2016, together with its franchisees, members and partners, Planet Fitness has contributed more than $12 million to support pro-kindness initiatives.
