SHUZZ
(pronounced shoes) is a non-profit organization that provides new shoes to the
children poverty stricken areas across America and in developing countries
around the world. The Shuzz foundation distributes thousands of shoes free of
charge to children regardless of race, religion, class or any other criteria
that are in need of a very basic tool to prevent them from risk. Their needs are simple: a pair of shoes that fit properly.
This helps protect from injury and prevent disease, enhancing safety when
playing, doing chores and going to school.
The
mission of the Shuzz Organization is to provide new shoes to children to
prevent disease, opportunity for education, enhance self-esteem, and provide
athletic opportunity and disaster relief.
On
Saturday, August 14, 2016 the Shuzz Fund distributed over 500 shoes for their
back-2-school event held at the Renaissance Middle School in Miramar. The SHUZZ
Back-2-School Shoe Drive is a two week campaign that seeks to increase
awareness and raise money to purchase new sneakers and athletic cleats for
children in South Florida. SHUZZ works in partnership with several
organizations to identify children in need and coordinate distribution efforts.

Host and Latin Connection Magazine writer Erica Cuascut was a volunteer for the
Shuzz Foundation.
