SHIEKH SHOES X CONVERSE BACKPACK GIVEAWAY

The morning school bell is ringing in most cities around the country. The same is true for those schools in Compton, Where Shiekh Shoes partnered with Converse to help combat the back-to-school blues by providing 100 deserving children with new school gear for the new school year!

Shiekh Shoes invited 100 kids from Compton Unified School District and their families to the Shiekh Shoes Community Center on Saturday, Aug. 16 for a back-to-school party hosted with the help of Converse. From 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., participants danced, enjoyed lunch and received school supplies, including backpacks, paper, pencils and pens, a day planner and more. Each child moved on to receive a brand new pair of Converse sneakers.

Shiekh Shoes is a family business that enjoys engaging with community members of all ages. Founder Shiekh Ellahi is committed to bettering the lives of deserving children through his work with the Shiekh Shoes Community Center and though projects like the Converse Backpack Giveaway and the upcoming Timberland School Renovation.

“It just feels good to be able to help the community,” said Ellahi. “We at Shiekh Shoes feel blessed to be able to work with so many deserving children.”
