A Barefoot for a Reason

Did anyone notice Coach Nagy
didn’t have shoes on the other night
against Oakland?
He didn’t just forget his shoes at
home. Instead, he chose to coach
barefoot to raise awareness and col-
lect shoes for the country of Haiti
partner with the Samaritan’s Feet, a
charitable organization.
Coach Nagy first became in-
volved with Haiti and the organiza-
tion after he and his wife adopted
their six-year-old daughter, Naika.
He saw first hand the
struggles of the Haitians
after visiting Naika in
the orphanage.
“This is a minor inconveniece,”
said Coach Nagy. However, his
impact will be strong. He hopes
to raise $30,000 and 2,000 pairs of
shoes.
Tell your parents to text “shoes”
to 85944 so a $5 donation can be
made to buy a pair of shoes for a
child in need. Five dollars will
be added to your parents next cell
phone bill.
“It’s a good way to remind
people that there’s other things
going on that are a heck of a lot
more imprtant than just basketball
games.”
