Support A Sport
Events
In order to raise the money we need we like to do lots of events to raise awareness. These events are very fun and a great chance to meet some of you. We also think it's a great opportunity for your child to find a sport that they want to play. Below are some dates that we are doing some events:
- December 16 - Kids try out sports.
- January 24 - Story time!
- February 13 - Watch a soccer game.
- November 9 - Hot cocoa and campfire!
- March 6 - Adults play basketball!

Another great way you could help is by not only donating your money, but also your time. You can volunteer every Saturday at the Support the Sports warehouse to help package equipment, help us go shopping for equipment, help host the events, ect. If you think of anything else you or anyone else can do please let us know!

Facts
Lots of parents struggle to pay the fee to let their kids play sports.The average amount to pay for a sport is over $1,000, and more than half of all parents need your help to let their kids play. If you donate equipment to us kids won’t have to pay as much.
69 percent of people say that they are not interested in sports of any kind. But, some people say they feel more confident and powerful when they do sports. By caring you could help a child (or really anyone) feel that way.
Over 23 million kids don’t play sports! They don’t because of cost, time, pressure, and don’t have access to facilities or programs. Covid-19 also played a very big role in this.The pandemic caused many leagues to shut down which led to kicking all of the kids in that league out of it.
