Local Planet Fitness Launches Community Sneaker Drive to Benefit MA, RI and NH Youth

LOCAL PLANET FITNESS LAUNCHES COMMUNITY SNEAKER DRIVE TO BENEFIT MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND AND NEW HAMPSHIRE YOUTH

 Sneaker recycling drive runs Sept. 1-Oct. 31 at MA, RI and NH clubs, with all proceeds benefiting area Boys & Girls Clubs 

WHAT:       

Planet Fitness locations across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island are teaming up with GotSneakers to launch a sneaker recycling campaign from September 1 through October 31. The initiative encourages members and community residents to donate their gently used sneakers to help support local Boys & Girls Clubs while promoting sustainability.

Gently used sneakers can be dropped off in collection bins at participating Planet Fitness locations (noted below) throughout the month-long campaign. Once collected, the sneakers will be processed by GotSneakers, a national organization that recycles and reuses footwear to reduce landfill waste and promote sustainability. All proceeds from the donations will directly benefit local Boys & Girls Clubs, helping to fund essential programs and services for youth.

Planet Fitness is proud to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America as part of the brand’s national philanthropic initiative, Judgement Free Generation®, which aims to advance youth wellbeing and empower the next generation to create kinder communities. Since 2016, together with its franchisees, members and partners, Planet Fitness has contributed more than $12 million to support pro-kindness initiatives.

WHEN:

September 1 through October 31, 2026

WHERE:              Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire Clubs
