Jon Gosselin & RHONJ’s Margaret Josephs help real estate mogul Patrick Carroll donate sneakers to kids in need

JON Gosselin, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs and more celebrities are joining Miami real estate mogul Patrick Carroll in his goal to donate millions of dollars in sneakers to underprivileged kids. 

Patrick will be gifting truckloads of trendy sneakers to underprivileged kids at Madison Garden Boys & Girls Club in New York on June 8. 

This will be the fourth city Patrick is donating to, as he vows to give a million dollars worth of kicks to kids in need across the country. 

Patrick said in a statement: “There’s no better feeling than seeing the kids’ faces filled with excitement when they get a new pair of really cool sneakers. They’re surprised and so happy at the same time. I don’t know of a more genuine and fulfilling experience than I could imagine. 

“As cliche as it sounds, the message I give the kids is, ‘If I can do it, anyone can do it.’ I am far from your typical success story. I got in some trouble growing up, didn’t go to college, and I’m basically self-taught. 

“I think, especially these days, it’s important for the kids to understand the message, ‘Work hard for your dreams and you too can live the American dream.’”

So far, Patrick has donated $400,000 worth of sought-after sneakers to underprivileged kids in Tampa and Miami, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia.

Joining Patrick on June 8 will be former TLC star and deejay Jon Gosselin, RHONJ stars Margaret Josephs and Rachel Fuda, Dina Lohan, WWE’s Dean “Mojo” Muhtadi,  Ben “Sneaker Don” Kicks and more. 

The father of three’s celebrity friends will help pass out the sneakers at the event to the excited children.
