Troy University football players visited Goshen Elementary School with new shoes and hats. WAKA reported on October 9, 2026, that the Trojans partnered with Lids and the nonprofit Shoes That Fit to make the gift. It is the second year those three partners have done this together for the school.
The station's report is brief. It does not say how many students received shoes, what sizes were offered, or what the visit cost. It does establish the return trip: the football team, a national shoe nonprofit, and Lids showed up again in Goshen with new shoes and hats for elementary students.
