SNEAKERS 4 SCHOLARSHIPS
If sneakers are taking up too much room in the closet, consider donating them to AAUW-OML (American Association of University Women, Orinda Moraga Lafayette branch). The AAUW-OML team reuses and recycles them to earn money for scholarships for local high school seniors at Miramonte, Campolindo, Acalanes and students in the
Saint Mary’s College High Potential Program. These scholarships are based on community engagement. Drop off outdated or new sneakers at one of the following locations: Moraga Hardware, Lafayette Veterans Memorial Building or Rossmoor Gym. For more information, call
