About the Founder

Hi my name is Beatrice Carter, I am the founder and CEO of Kicks for Kids a Non Profit 501C3 Organization which was established in 2015. Since the age of 15 I've had a passion for helping people and giving back to my community. As a mother of three school age children I understand the needs of the youth and the importance of having proper shoes/sneakers for school and that is why I started Kicks for Kids. Shoes are one of the most expensive items that families have to purchase for their children. The gift of brand-new shoes empowers children in need by sparking confidence and self-pride and helping to prevent bullying.  

I believe that it truly enriches a community when people find it in their hearts to give and be a help to those in need. 

Our mission is to make sure children do not have to suffer in academics or sports due to wearing worn out, mismatched or poor fitting shoes/sneakers.
