The Hampton Library is thrilled to be a part of the Bridgehampton Half-Marathon + 5K by running a Sneaker Drive! The goal is to raise money for the library AND help the environment by keeping discarded sneakers out of landfills. It’s a win-win for everyone!
We’re asking you to reach into your closets and donate gently worn, used, or new sneakers and athletic shoes of all sizes at our collection locations:
1. The Beebe Windmill on corner of Ocean Road & Hildreth Ave (race start/finish point):
Friday, May 6th from 5:30 to 7:00pm
Saturday, May 7th from 7:00am to 12:00PM
2. The Hampton Library at 2478 Main Street in Bridgehampton:
Friday, May 6th and Saturday, May 7th from 9:30am-5:30pm
Donated sneakers will be recycled by GotSneakers, a social enterprise committed to environmental sustainability, which will issue funds to benefit the Hampton Library.
This will greatly help us continue to meet the ever changing needs of our diverse community with all we strive to offer: robust book collections, innovative programs for all ages, literacy initiatives, outreach events, free museum passes, passport services, quiet work spaces, up-to-date research databases, current technology, and much, much more!
The Hampton Library wishes all the runners a safe, fun event, and thanks the Bridgehampton Half-Marathon + 5K organizers for their support!
