Samaritan’s Feet Night got off on the right foot — I couldn’t resist — Friday at North Medford High. The school’s boys basketball program helped raise more than $600 and collected about 30 pairs of shoes for children in need. The Black Tornado varsity and sub-varsity coaches were barefoot as they worked the games to drive home the point that shoes are considered a luxury by some who are less privileged.
If you didn’t get a chance to help out and would like to, the team is doing the same thing Thursday night for the regular-season finale against South Eugene. There’s also the option of dropping donations of shoes or money by the Activities Office between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
