Best Foot Forward has raised funds for the purchase of athletic shoes for kids in Bessemer, PA since 2022.

Last year, April 27th to April 28th, Trotter Therapy Services, One Bite at a Time Nutrition Counseling, and Orangetheory Fitness partnered together to bring Best Foot Forward to Youngstown, OH.

The three local businesses collaborated to create the first ever '24 Hour Treadmill Marathon & Raffle Giveaway', hosted at Trotter Therapy Services AND Orangetheory Fitness simultaneously. Over 30 local businesses donated raffle baskets for the raffle giveaway. All were welcome to participate in the tread marathon, raffle giveaway, or simply give a donation. 

With the help of surrounding communities, local businesses, members of both fitness facilities, and local news outlets, $5,000 was raised in 24 hours.

The first half of donations was used to purchase shoes for kids in the Mohawk Area School District, and the remaining $2,500 was donated to the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, for athletic shoes to be distrubuted at their Care Closets to the Youngstown Community.

This year, Best Foot Forward is aiming to meet this goal yet again by hosting two '24 Hour Treadmill Marathons & Local Business Raffle Giveaways'. 

Bessemer, PA - April 11th @12pm to April 12th @12pm
Youngstown, OH - May 3rd @7:45am to May 4th, 7:45am
