Additional Information

Additional Background Information:
Sports Gift offers students, schools, scout groups, churches and other youth groups a unique community service opportunity to help underprivileged children play sports. Children love sports, but for many children, owning a ball or other sports equipment is out of their reach. By participating in Sports Gift as a Collection Leader, you can help provide sports equipment to these needy children. The mission is simple: collect gently used and new sports equipment to donate to underprivileged children in your community and beyond.
