GREEN BAY, Wis. — Every yard Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones earned during the 2021 season will help a kid in Wisconsin get a new pair of shoes.
Jones’ “Yards for Shoes” campaign — where Jones pledged to donate one pair of Adidas shoes for every rushing yard he gained — will begin distributing 841 pairs of shoes next week on May 10.
Jones gained 799 yards on the ground for the Packers during the 2021 season, and Packers fans funded an additional 42 pairs of shoes to be donated through the effort. The shoes will be passed out to kids at Boys & Girls Clubs in the Fox Valley, Green Bay, Oshkosh, Washington County and Kenosha areas.
