The results of the KICKS ARE FOR KIDS- NIKEiD Shoe Design Competition are in!
Congratulations to all 20 semi-finalists! Your shoe designs show amazing creativity, originality and design inspiration. Together we raised over $7,400 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia Northwest! Because it takes $1,000 to support a match for one year, the $7,400 raised gives 7 more children the opportunity to have a Big Brother, Big Sister or Big Couple.
Many thanks are also in order to the numerous supporters who donated.
