Colorado Friends of the Lost Boys and Girls (CFLBS) focuses on the education, job training and welfare of Sudanese refugees who have been displaced by the civil unrest in Sudan. CFLBS strives to empower young men and women to become self-sufficient, educated people, that one day will have the opportunity to return to their country and contribute to rebuilding their homeland. Newton Running is honored to contribute to the process of assisting some of these men and women in achieving their personal goals.

Danny Abshire and "Mom Jean" help fit the Sudanese refugees living in Colorado with Newton shoes to run the 2008 Bolder Boulder 10k race.
