Students at a local college walked around campus Tuesday without shoes on and it was all for a good cause.
Bowling Green Technical College held a "One Day Without Shoes" event.
It's meant to raise awareness for the millions of children around the World who don't have proper footwear and are therefore, exposed to disease and injuries.
Students and community members walked over a gravel pathway barefoot at the event.
"People are not really aware that kids go daily without shoes. Roughly, 30,000 children just in the area are going without shoes," says John Rose, one of the event's coordinators.
"I think it's a good awareness and it shows people what kids go through every day," says Haley Womac, a student at BGTC.
Those who took part also got the chance to get pedicures.
Organizers say the Philippines and Kenya are just two of the countries where many children go without shoes.
