We want to send a huge shoutout to all the athletes, coaches, and programs across our communities as they take the field each week. We’re cheering you on every step of the way!

Equal access to sports starts with having the right equipment. Thanks to our incredible partners and our Football Distribution Days this summer, thousands of student-athletes have the gear they need to step onto the field with confidence and play the game they love.

This is why we do what we do… “LPF’s donation has This is why we do what we do…

“LPF’s donation has positively impacted hundreds of children who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to get the supplies and practice their favorite sport. Thanks to LPF, hundreds of children from low-income families now play baseball, soccer, and other sports.”

This is why we do what we do…

“LPF’s donations have allowed us to provide families (youth) with [sports] equipment that they might not otherwise be able to afford. We serve a population of families, where food is the greatest need, and therefore, playing sports & being able to afford equipment is tough! During our community outreach events, and after school family engagement programming (Transforming Tuesdays) families are grateful for the opportunity to be able to pick up these much desired items for free! Thank you for being available to us, so that we can provide hope to families!”
