Sports Medicine Launches Third Annual Warrior Strides

The new sock drive will run through October.

DETROIT -- For the third year in a row, the WSU Sports Medicine Department is sponsoring the new sock collection campaign called Warrior Strides, which kicked off on Oct. 1 and runs the entire month.

WHO
WSU Sports Medicine

WHAT
NEW Socks

WHY
We are asking for NEW socks because socks are one of the most commonly needed items at shelters, since you cannot donate used socks.  October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so items will be donated to a domestic violence shelter in Detroit.

HOW
Just drop off a pair of NEW socks at one of the locations listed below!  For your donation, you may enter your name into the Gift Card Raffle with the drawing taking place on Nov. 1.  Winners will be announced on Instagram @WSUSportsMedicine
