Training and Motivation Center Hosting Sneaker Day Party to Benefit Back to School Event

The Training and Motivation Center (TMC) is hosting its First Annual Sneaker Day Party to benefit its well-known annual Back to School event. The nonprofit TMC says that they are, “bringing the entire community together this summer with their inaugural Sneaker Day Party.”

“I’ve been wanting to do a Sneaker Party event like this for some time now,” said TMC Board Member and co-founder Tim Conaway. “We encourage families and friends to come out and just have some fun. Listen to good music from a local DJ – DJ MDot and DJ Token – enjoy dancing, sneaker culture, food and drink, and have a chance to win some very cool prizes.”

The event is to be Sunday July 21, 2024 from 12:00pm to 6:00pm at Five Churches Brewing at 193 Arch Street.

TMC supporter Maciah Clark, Owner of Un•Known Clothing Boutique and CT Sneaker Supply are Leading Sponsors of the first-ever Sneaker Day Party, and TMC is offering special thanks to event hosts 5 Churches Brewing.

Conaway says that, “TMC is excited to once again partner with these great businesses and organizations who are dedicated to supporting New Britain youth and families.”

Event organizers say that,

Party attendees will be able to enter a Sneaker Contest for the chance to win a number of prizes, including a Travis Scott Fortnite set, Yeezy Slides, Virgil Abloh ICONS, and more. Tickets are on sale now for $25 and can be purchased online at TMC’s website or at the door on the day of the event. Ticket price includes (1) pizza and (1) drink.
