STEPPING INTO BRIGHTER FUTURES
Why We Donate to Kids
Worn-out shoes can too easily injure feet and hurt self-esteem. They can make kids feel less confident and cause long-term health effects. We want to set kids up for success starting at the root; their feet!
Who We Work With
We work directly with local schools, shelters, and organizations such as The Boys and Girls Club of New England in hopes of reaching as many children as possible. We are always looking to expand our network to ensure we reach a wide range of families.
How You Can Help
Any donation, big or small, can help provide a pair of shoes for kids in need. Are you a part of an organization helping those in need? Let’s collaborate to reach a common goal!
Meet Our Founder
Kaela Contrada-Ray founded Casey’s Kicks in honor of her brother, Casey Contrada. To say they were close is an understatement. Casey was a huge sneakerhead and one day, Kaela and Casey were brainstorming on how to fill up a car and donate a bunch of sneakers to kids in need. Unfortunatly, Casey passed before they could do this together. Kaela has made it her mission to keep Casey’s legacy alive by creating a non-profit that they would have loved to live out together.
Meet Our Inspiration
Casey Contrada was the kindest soul you would ever come across. The type of person to give you the shirt off of their back. Casey loved sneakers of all kinds. He was up on all the latest trends and shoe releases. Casey and Kaela had a dream of filling up the back of their cars and dropping off countless pairs of shoes for kids who needed them.
