USE YOUR SNEAKERS TO KEEP CHICAGO ACTIVE
Give your sneakers a second life while supporting CARA–an organization committed to creating free, accessible opportunities and advocating for the local running community. By dropping of your sneakers at local events and using a free mail-in bag, you’re helping raise funds that go directly toward supporting our community.
Every pair counts with sneaker recycling in Chicago. Help us step closer to stronger support to fuel the future of fitness right here at home. Thank you for making an impact one pair at a time!
