JCI Cebu continues to champion community development through Project Hearts & Soles, an initiative that transforms athletic passion into meaningful impact. Inspired by members who recently completed marathons, triathlons, and HYROX competitions, the project encouraged the donation of pre-loved running, gym, trekking, and CrossFit shoes to support aspiring young athletes across Cebu.
Every donated pair was professionally cleaned, carefully packed, and distributed to 19 student-athletes under the guidance of Coach Arvin Loberanis. More than footwear, each donation symbolized perseverance, encouragement, and the shared belief that every young athlete deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams with confidence.
JCI Cebu extends its heartfelt appreciation to Darma’s GiftDash for preparing the shoe packages, Shoe Crew Cebu for restoring each pair, and Monde, through Monde Chocolate Milk, for providing nourishment to the student-athletes. Special recognition is also given to Adrian Tan and Gerome Diaz for leading this meaningful initiative, demonstrating how collaboration and generosity can create lasting impact—one stride at a time.
