LPF partnered with Chester Upland Youth Soccer to give away soccer gear such as cleats, shin guards, socks, and backpacks to kids at a distribution event at Main Street Elementary School in Chester, PA in October 2024

LPF is honored to join forces with the International Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association to collect lacrosse equipment, beginning with a November Tournament down in Richmond, VA. The gear collected will continue to make the game of lacrosse accessible for players nationwide.

Meet Jackie, a high school teacher interested in coaching softball, only to learn her school no longer had a team. Jackie quickly needed assistance to make sure each girl had gear to learn the sport safely. Jackie’s trip to LPF gave her and her team the lift they needed to have an unforgettable season.

Detroit will be LPF’s sixth location, joining Greater Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Western NY, and Ohio as centers for sports equipment collection and re-distribution. The Detroit warehouse is slated to open in Q4 of 2024. 

Monumental Sports is launching the brand new “District of Play” Initiative and LPF is proud to be a part of it! We are excited to work with the Washington Mystics to collect and distribute sports bras for young female athletes in the DC Area. Check it out!
