Every year, the Anthony Muñoz Foundation brings the holiday spirit to students in the Tristate.

Tuesday, Nov. 18 students at Oyler School participated in their annual “Shoegiving” event. The Foundation provided 35 students lunch from the LaRosa’s Pizzeria on Boudinot Avenue, then took them on a shopping trip to the Western Hills Target. Each student received new pair of shoes to keep them warm this winter!

At Larosa’s, the students enjoyed pizza, played interactive trivia games, and got an insiders’ view look at the kitchen. Then the Oyler School students headed to Target for an individualized shopping experience.

“We absolutely love supporting the Anthony Muñoz Foundation annual field trip with the students from Oyler Elementary School,” says Michael LaRosa, CEO of LaRosa’s Pizzeria. “The smiles on the students faces say it all! The day makes for a uniquely fun experience that creates a special forever memory for everyone involved!”

This is the 13th year the Anthony Muñoz Foundation has hosted “Shoegiving.” In that time, more than 300 pairs of shoes have been given to students. The program is just one of many Anthony Muñoz Foundation’s creates a positive impact for underserved youth in the Tristate.
