It's time to dust off those forgotten sports shoes and donate them to the annual Bring Yer Boots Campaign, which began this week.
This year Hawke's Bay Today, in conjunction with Sport Hawke's Bay, will run the fifth annual Bring Yer Boots campaign, collecting and distributing sports gear to youngsters, for the month of March.
Sport Hawke's Bay commercial manager Ryan Hambleton said the campaign now accepted all types of sporting footwear, in light of different sport codes expanding in popularity.
"Traditionally it's always been about rugby and football boots but we're really keen to open it up and reduce barriers for those other sports.''
Footwear for running, basketball, netball, rugby, football and other sports would be distributed to children from Wairoa to Central Hawke's Bay.
