ABOUT

Welcome to the 1st Annual Back-to-School Sneaker Drive, proudly hosted by Soul Beat Network! This initiative aims to ensure that every child in the Oakland Unified School District steps into the new school year with confidence and style. We are prioritizing monetary donations, which will be converted into up to $100 vouchers for students, with the actual amount based on their age group. Thanks to our partnership with OakStop Alliance, all contributions and donations are tax-deductible.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

  1. Register: Visit our intake form and complete the registration process. Only one guardian per household can register.
  2. Verify: Upload necessary documents to verify your low-income status. This may include proof of income, participation in assistance programs, or other relevant documentation.
  3. Qualify: Ensure your child is enrolled in the Oakland Unified School District.

Vouchers will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Check your email for confirmation and further instructions.
