Rangers minor leaguer Luke Savage provides baseball dreams to underprivileged youth in association with non-profit organisation
A non-profit company called Blessed Feet was formed by Luke Savage, a Texas Rangers minor leaguer who signed as an undrafted free agent out of TCU in 2023. The straightforward goal of Blessed Feet is to "provide cleats, shoes, and hope to kids in need."
After two mission trips to the Dominican Republic that Savage took while attending Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, for his high school education, he had the concept for Blessed Feet. Savage found out how many basic things we take for granted in the US after having this eye-opening encounter.
Day 1 in the Dominican Republic is in the books! Today included opening ceremonies, shoe and gear distribution, and game one of our inaugural Blessed Feet tournament! God is good! - _blessedfeet_
After years of effort and development, Blessed Feet has expanded from Savage's tiny idea to a recognized non-profit that helps impoverished children locally and in the Dominican Republic by giving them baseball equipment, tennis shoes and cleats.
