Strut for Good: Central PA's Premier Networking Luncheon Returns October 2

The Salvation Army Harrisburg will welcome hundreds of community leaders, business professionals, and supporters to Shoe Strut 2026 on Friday, October 2, 2026 at Hershey Lodge for an afternoon of networking, fashion, fun, and philanthropy.

As Central Pennsylvania's largest fundraising networking luncheon, Shoe Strut brings together businesses, organizations, and individuals who share a commitment to strengthening the local community. The event begins with networking from 11:00 a.m. to noon, followed by lunch and the program from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.

Guests will enjoy networking, seated luncheon, an epic silent auction, unique live auction, fun contests, and an inspiring glimpse into The Salvation Army Harrisburg's impact on the community.

One of the event's most meaningful traditions continues in 2026: for every guest who attends, a local child in need will receive a brand-new pair of shoes of their choice through The Salvation Army's partnership with Boscov's. Every seat purchased directly impacts a child, ensuring they have properly fitting shoes for school and everyday life.
