Looking for a new pair of shoes? Support a great cause while you shop! New Balance Naperville is partnering with Team Brookdale, and 10% of all sales during the event will be donated back to support Brookdale Elementary's Team IPEF Charity Heroes.

Stop by for a free foot scan and fit analysis, meet BOB the Bobcat, Dr. Schmid, and members of the Team Brookdale community, and enjoy an afternoon of shopping, connection, and school spirit.

A new pair of shoes can make a big impact. See you there! 💛
