We are incredibly grateful to the Heartland Bank Community Foundation for their generous support of the Kyle Miller First Day 5K!

Recently, Eric and Sharon Miller of Kyle Miller Shoes for Kids were presented with a $3,500 check from the foundation to help continue the mission of making sure local students start the school year on the right foot.

Funds raised through the Kyle Miller First Day 5K and generous contributions like this one are used to provide brand-new athletic shoes to Gahanna-Jefferson students in need. Each year, hundreds of children receive a new pair of shoes so they can walk into the first day of school with confidence, comfort, and a sense of pride.

Thank you to the Heartland Bank Community Foundation for helping us continue Kyle’s legacy of kindness and for investing in the success of our students and families.
