ATLANTA -- Piccadilly Restaurants has brought back its annual Paper Sneaker Sales Program to raise money to combat juvenile diabetes.

Beginning Wednesday, Oct. 10, Piccadilly customers will have the option of purchasing a paper sneaker for $1. Money raised from the sneaker campaign will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

"Supporting our communities' well-being is one of the core principles of Piccadilly Restaurants," Piccadilly CEO Tom Sandeman said in a statement. "This is certainly a cause that is close to our hearts. We are extremely proud to take part in the sneaker program that has helped us raise over $129,000 to aid in the fight against juvenile diabetes."

The sneaker campaign ends on Saturday, Nov. 10.

Summer in the south is officially here! With rising temperatures, it is important to take steps to protect those around us who might be vulnerable to the heat, like our children and pets.

This is because they have more body surface for their height. Children are also closer to the ground – and to hot pavement. They can easily become dehydrated or overheated.

Here are some tips to keep your children and pets safe in the heat.
