Shoes For Socks Delivery Spreads Holiday Cheer

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Spreading a little holiday cheer, UNCW Athletics staffers and beloved mascot Sammy C. Hawk gathered early Wednesday to deliver new shoes to students at DC Virgo Preparatory School as part of the school's "Shoes For Socks" promotion.

Approximately 50 pairs of shoes were collected during the women's basketball game vs. Wofford on Nov. 22, 2022, and men's basketball game vs. Jacksonville on Dec. 10, 2022. It marks the third year for the promotion, which began in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence.

Fans who brought a pair of new shoes to the games received a pair of yellow socks adorned with the Seahawk logo.

More than 500 pairs of new shoes have been distributed since the promotion originated.
