Georgia State will face Georgia Southern on Saturday with a lot more than the in-state rivalry on the line. Saturday will also mark the annual ‘Barefoot for Barefeet’ game in which head coach Ron Hunter coaches barefoot to raise awareness for Samaritan’s Feet.
This will mark the 11th-year in a row that Hunter goes without shoes to raise awareness for the 300 million children around the world who will wake up each morning without shoes and in many cases without hope.
Due to the efforts of many, including a lot of Georgia State fans, Samaritan’s Feet has been able to distribute more than 10 million pairs of shoes in the last 10 years.
