Rocket City Trash Pandas fans can celebrate the upcoming school year and support a great cause at the same time! Local law firm Tyler Mann Injury Law is teaming up with HEALS, Inc., a non-profit organization, to provide new back-to-school shoes for children in the Huntsville-area community.

The drive will take place at the Trash Pandas’ home games vs. the Chattanooga Lookouts on Saturday, July 27, and Sunday, July 28, at Toyota Field in Madison, Alabama.

Fans can help by bringing new, child-sized shoes (grades 1-8) to the game and dropping them off at the Tyler Mann tent near the ballpark entrance. Donors will be entered for a chance to win a $250 gift card to Academy Sports + Outdoors.

“We’re excited to partner with HEALS and the Trash Pandas to support our community’s children,” said Tyler Mann, founder of Tyler Mann Injury Law. “Every donation makes a lasting difference in the lives of these children, and together, we can ensure they have the resources they need to succeed in school this year.”

Here’s how fans can participate:

  • Bring new, child-sized shoes (grades 1-8) to the Trash Pandas games on Saturday, July 27, or Sunday, July 28.
  • Drop off your donation at the Tyler Mann tent near the park entrance.
  • Scan a QR code at the tent to enter for a chance to win a $250 gift card to Academy Sports + Outdoors.

Tyler Mann Injury Law will also donate $1 for every entry received, with a goal of raising $3,000 for HEALS to purchase additional shoes. This initiative builds on Tyler Mann’s successful shoe drives in collaboration with HEALS and Academy Sports + Outdoors, which have provided over 1,000 pairs of shoes to Huntsville-area children in the past two years.
