Busy Week!! Equipment has arrived!

🍂 Fall Sport Season is Here! 🍂
That means Softball, Soccer, Golf, Tennis, Young Athletes, and Healthy Athletes programming are in full swing! ⚾️⚽️🏌️🎾

From mitts, bats, bases, wagons, equipment bags, golf clubs, soccer balls, nets, shin guards, and racquets—our athletes have everything they need to play, compete, and shine. ✨

And here’s the best part: our athletes never pay to play or for their equipment. Thanks to the incredible support of donors, 3rd party fundraisers, and our amazing families, we can keep making sports accessible for everyone. 💙
