SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The South Dakota State Track and Field meet has taken over Howard Wood Field in Sioux Falls.

The fund provides footwear for middle and high school students in the Vermillion School District. 'I have a closet full of shoes. They come to me, tell me what size, we try them on, and they get a new pair of shoes,' Billberg said. Now, Tanager Feet Forward is getting some help from another shoe mission called Kelcy's Kicks. Jenny Orr and her late husband started the fund after their daughter Kelcy, a runner, died of fentanyl poisoning. The money helps provide athletic shoes to students.

By teaming up, the two missions can do more for students. 'Because of Kelcy's Kicks' addition, we can now buy shoes for any sport kid who needs it.
