DAYTON, OH – Winsupply Local Companies Sun City Winnelson and Winsupply El
Paso TX have decided to team up to become the primary sponsor of Aaron Jones’ Yards for
Shoes, benefitting The A&A All The Way Foundation.
Aaron Jones is the starting running back for the Green Bay Packers. During his second
year in the NFL, Jones led the league in yards per carry with an average of 5.5 yards per attempt.
In recognition of his outstanding performance on the field and his charitable work, Aaron was
nominated for the highly esteemed Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2021.
For several years, Aaron and his family have been organizing shoe drives in their
hometown of El Paso. In 2020, they decided to expand their efforts by launching the Aaron
Jones’ Yards for Shoes campaign.
For the fourth year, the Aaron Jones’ Yards for Shoes campaign will be active for the
2023/2024 NFL Green Bay Packers’ regular season, which runs for 17 games. For every rushing
yard Aaron Jones has during the Packers’ games, a pair of shoes will be donated to an elementary
or middle school child in El Paso, with a maximum of 1,500 pairs. Since its inception, the
campaign has produced an inspiring total of 1,996 pairs of shoes.
Fans also have the opportunity to make monetary contributions for additional shoes to be
purchased for the children on the A&A All The Way Foundation website at

“Yards for Shoes isn’t just about football; it’s about the power of teamwork, both on the
field and in our communities,” said Jones during the kick-off. “These shoes are a symbol of our
commitment to helping kids and creating a brighter future together.”
“Investing in the well-being and future of our communities is at the heart of everything
we do at Winsupply,” says Dean Moore, president/general manager of Sun City Winnelson. “We
are honored to be part of Yards for Shoes and to witness the power it brings to children in the
community.”
