Overview of Idea

Founding artist Madison “Peach” Steiner and 3 guest artists hand paint and donate canvas shoes to children battling childhood cancer or other long term/life threatening illnesses/lifelong disabilities. They customize each shoe to compliment the deserving child's life, interests & courageous fight!

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

Peach’s Neet Feet (PNF) is a grassroots custom shoe donation project. In 12 months, they have delivered 300 pairs of hand-painted canvas shoes to children (PNF Fighters) in 37 states. The calendar is full 2months out and requests pour in daily.
$5,000 would allow the all-volunteer PNF crew to purchase computer equipment and office supplies, cover substantial shipping expenses, permit Peach and her crew to significantly increase the number of children they can provide shoes for by creating funding for them to to visit participating hospitals to host shoe-painting parties, allowing painting and distribution of multiple pairs of shoes at each party.
Another aspect of PNF outreach is the provision of “Care Packages” to fighters in long-term car
