"Instead of using funds on equipment, this allows us to use our financial resources toward other activities and program needs. LPF definitely helps organizations like ours have a lesser burden to carry."

Primacy Futboller Academy

"We started an after school tennis club last spring for students in grades 4 through 8. Student's were excited to finally get a chance to learn tennis skills with the tennis rackets and trainer balls you donated to our schools. The parents and kids have already began inquiring about when we will start in the spring."

Accokeek Academy

"The donation of futsal balls was a huge benefit. It allowed every child to have a ball during sessions, and the right kind of ball for gym spaces to have a high-quality experience during the winter months."

Friends of Carroll Park

"Leveling the Playing Field's donation has allowed the youth of New Greenmount Community Association & Center to experience greater diversity in sporting activities. Extremely appreciate."

Greenmount Community Association & Center

"The sports equipment that we received from Leveling the Playing Field has given our students the opportunity to be active during recess and learn more interactive games. Some students picked up a lacrosse stick for the first time and really took off with wanting to learn how to play. Through this we have made a connection with a local college team to come during the school year and teach the students how to play."

THANK YOU to all LPF supporters who donated, sprea

THANK YOU to all LPF supporters who donated, spread the word, and kickstarted a Summer of Play! The $17,000 raised will be matched by an anonymous donor and go twice as far to support over 500 beneficiary programs. 🤝

Together, we're looking forward to providing over 50,000 kids with access to the free sports equipment they need to stay active in sports, and make this their best summer yet! 🥇

Summer is here!

Did you know that about 12.6 million kids don’t have access to structured summer opportunities due to costs and other barriers (Afterschool Alliance, 2026)? That’s more than half of the nation’s kids!

There’s still time to make a difference! Every donation to our Summer of Play campaign helps unlock benefits of summer camp, including 63% of parents reporting their child continues to participate in new activities he or she learned at camp. (stats provided by the American Camp Association).

All contributions are matched through midnight, tonight, until we reach $20,000! Will your donation be the one to help us surpass our goal?

Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickb

Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickball with new friends at summer camp? Play is a staple of summer, but for many kids there is a financial barrier keeping them on the sidelines.

LPF helps remove this barrier by providing free sports equipment to programs like @camp_jamison

Across three years, Camp Jamison staff picked up 361 pieces of sports equipment from LPF including tennis balls and rackets, cones, skateboards, and basketball gear. The basketball gear from LPF was a game changer for campers who don’t play basketball regularly, and reinforced what Camp Jamison is all about: building skills, relationships, and confidence to navigate life with a purpose.

Through LPF's Summer of Play campaign, you can help us create more cherished sports memories for kids across the country. For every $100 donated, we can equip 20 kids to enjoy all that sports have to offer this summer.

Together, we can provide free gear and a summer of PLAY for 50,000 kids. Check out our story and bio for more info!
