Helping Every Single Step Feel Like Home      
The Texas FFA Association is excited to work with Cowtown CALF for our annual convention service drive to help every single step Feel Like Home! Chapters are encouraged to bring new running shoes and/or socks to the Texas FFA Convention July 6-10, 2026.

Asics or Under Armour are the preferred shoe brands, but others are welcome. The biggest need is boys and girls sizes 4 to 6, but any youth and adult sizes are accepted.  


What is Cowtown CALF?

The C.A.L.F. Program was created in 2009 as part of The Cowtown Marathon's mission to promote a lifelong love of fitness, to help tens of thousands of children from area school districts and community centers lace-up and start crossing finish lines.

Through their school grant program, they identify low-income children and fit them properly with a new pair of running shoes. Their staff and volunteers visit approximately 400 schools across North Texas annually, training students in proper running techniques and educating them about resting heart rate, the importance of hydration, proper nutrition, and living an active lifestyle.

In the past 15 years, they have awarded over 60,000 financial grants and pairs of running shoes!
