Campaigns

Don't Be Trashy Recycling Matters. Help pass it on. The average person throws out four pounds of trash per day. That’s a lot of wasted opportunity. Empty bottles can become new bottles – or be turned into bridges! Paper can become more paper. Cans can become more cans. You get the idea. DoSomething.org and Nestlé Waters North America are saying “Don’t Be Trashy”, recycle instead! Share (scary, but hilarious!) stats on recycling and inspire your friends to take action for a chance to win free movie tickets and college scholarships.

Tackle Hunger! Be a part of collecting 1 Million lbs of food! Start a food drive in your community or school. Submit your results and you could win a $100 scholarship for each member of your drive (up to 10 members).

The Foot Locker Scholar Athletes program honors high school athletes for flexing their hearts on their sports team and in their communities. So, we're celebrating YOU — not just because you scored the winning touchdown or goal — but because you've used sports to become a strong leader and volunteer in your community.
