LAND O' LAKES, FL — More than 500 shoes will be donated on Friday to Pasco County children who are in need of footwear, school officials said. A philanthropist and professor at St. Petersburg College, Jacques Hakim, spearheaded the shoe donation project. "This truly is a labor of love, and a great team effort to help the children of Pasco County,'' said Hakim. "I am grateful for all the people who helped make this happen. I hope and pray that other business leaders in our community start engaging and become involved." Jacques Hakim will be joined on Friday at the shoe delivery event by Congressman Gus Bilirakis, County Commissioner Mike Wells, FBI Tampa representatives and Pasco County School Superintendent Kurt Browning. The shoes will be distributed by Pasco School staff at schools where students will benefit from the donation.
