For many families, the cost of sports equipment can make participating in youth athletics difficult. The Gear Up! program helps remove that barrier by collecting donated sports equipment and redistributing it to young athletes through the Sports 4 the Kids warehouse.
From cleats and gloves to balls and protective gear, donated equipment gets a second life helping kids participate in the sports they love.
Sports 4 the Kids operates a warehouse at Greenwood Lakes Middle School in Lake Mary, Florida, where donated sports equipment is collected, organized, and distributed to athletes in need.
