As the annual Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and National Day of Service quickly approaches, it also marks the time of year when Georgia State head coach Ron Hunter will coach a game barefoot to raise awareness for Samaritan’s Feet.
This year Hunter will coach without shoes when the Panthers take on in-state rival Georgia Southern on Jan. 20. It will mark the 11th-straight year that Hunter will leave his shoes in the locker room looking to raise awareness for the 300 million children around the world who live without shoes every day.
“Anyone who knows me understands why Samaritan’s Feet has become such a huge part of my life,” Hunter said.
