The cleats are helping put a smile on the faces of many kids. 

“Cleats are really expensive. I have three football players,” said Nichelle Cane. She is grateful for Detroit's Sound Mind Sound Body Foundation. The organization just gave out free cleats and mouthguards. It also gave kids the opportunity to meet NFL players.
