June 2008- The Caltech Student Athlete Advisory Committee took the lead and won the SCIAC 2008 SCIAC SAAC annual contest to collect shoes. Between the months of January and May, the Beavers collected 240 lbs. of worn-out athletic shoes.  These shoes will be used by the NIKE Corporation in their Nike ReUSE A SHOE program.   Old sport shoes are ground up and used to construct playgrounds. A special note of THANKS! to all those Caltech Community members that donated their tired old shoes to this wonderful cause.
