Insightful coverage of Nashville and Middle, TN news

Nashville, TN – During the month of July, Cromwell Media and Soles4Souls are raising money to provide new shoes for kids experiencing homelessness in Nashville.

Without a good pair of shoes, kids feel embarrassed, discouraged, or left out. For a child experiencing homelessness, a new pair of shoes means dignity, education and health. There are more than 4,000 children in Metro Nashville Public Schools experiencing homelessness, and more than 18,000 across Middle Tennessee.

“Our goal is to raise enough money to purchase 1,000 pairs of new shoes,” said Cromwell Media VP/Market Manager Dennis Gwiazdon. “A single $20 donation provides a new pair of athletic shoes to a child experiencing homelessness. Our Soles4MusicCity fundraiser during last year’s Christmas holiday was such a heartwarming success and we want to top that effort for children in need of new shoes for their return to school this fall.”

Newton Nissan will once again partner with Soles4Souls and Cromwell Media on this fundraiser.
