Do you have gently worn running shoes gathering dust at home? Donate them to those in need with Vitality Give2Move and let's support our sports community one pair of shoes at a time. Because no one gets left behind.
Introducing Vitality Give2Move
We need your sole support! Give someone else the gift of movement with Vitality Give2Move in collaboration with the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture, and Afrika Tikkun.
If you have pre-loved (or new) running shoes lying around at home, here's your chance to give back. Discovery Vitality and the Department of Sports, Arts & Culture invite you to join us in making a difference by donating running shoes and children's sports shoes for individuals in need across South Africa.
Our goal?
To collect as many pairs of running shoes for individuals from underprivileged areas and grow our sports community one donation at a time.
Your old running shoes could inspire new dreams
Please prepare your shoes by cleaning them as best you can and tying the laces together before depositing them in the donation baskets. You can donate your gently worn running shoes at:
- All Discovery Stores nationwide. (Find your nearest Discovery Store)
- All events in the 2025 Vitality Run Series
- All Team Vitality tier 1 and 2 hospitality events on our Vitality Race Calendar
- The Department of Sports, Arts and Culture, Sechaba House, 202 Madiba Street, Pretoria and 120 Plein Street, Cape Town City Centre.
- Discovery Group offices across the country.
