The Youth Philanthropy Council (YPC), a teen-led nonprofit, has partnered with Jellypop, a Los Angeles-based, female-founded footwear brand, to donate over 21,000 shoes to those in need. The event, which is expected to set a world record for charitable giving, will take place on December 7, 2024, at the Sharp Healthcare Spectrum Center in San Diego.
The giveaway will be hosted outside Sharp HealthCare’s corporate headquarters in Kearny Mesa. Augustus Holm, founder of YPC, emphasized the event’s dual purpose: providing much-needed items to women and children while creating a meaningful experience for youth volunteers. Christina Jordan, Chief Development Officer for Sharp Metropolitan Medical Campus, highlighted the collaboration’s alignment with Sharp HealthCare’s mission to support the San Diego community.
Organizers report that hundreds of volunteers are already confirmed, with thousands of women and children expected to benefit from the donation. YPC and Jellypop are encouraging additional teen volunteers and donations to ensure the event achieves its ambitious goals.
