Angelenos, open your closet doors. Do you wear all of those shoes? We didn't think so. Head to the Staples Center tonight from 6:30pm-8pm and donate your footwear to the Bag Your Shoes event.

A collaboration between The Los Angeles Sparks and Waste Management, the first-ever Bag Your Shoes campaign aims to collect 1,000 pairs of old and new kicks.

All shoes will be donated to Southern California Goodwill. Donators will not only be encouraged to pat themselves on the backs, they will receive gifts from Waste Management plus be entered to win the Sparks Honorary Coach experience for each pair donated.

L.A. Lakers forward Lamar Odom already donated eight pairs of his size 17 sneakers. Hopefully someone in need can squeeze into his Nikes.

If you're bogged down by prior obligations tonight, keep bagging those sneaks. Bag Your Shoes also takes place this Friday, August 12, from 6:30pm-8pm.
