Used Sporting Equipment Drive to help area Youth - Please Donate

Help our community's disadvantaged youth play sports! Find your old, unused sporting equipment to put them in the hands of area youth.

Please donate any used sporting equipment! 1 in 5 kids from underserved communities don’t play sports. One reason is that equipment is too expensive. Ryan Traynor is running a sporting equipment drive through the doSomething.org/ESPN national drive. The equipment will be donated to LOCAL YMCAs and Boy’s and Girl’s Clubs. They need anything that anyone can use: basketballs, baseballs, footballs, golf balls, soccer balls, whiffle balls, tennis balls, rackets, bats, gloves, ping pong balls and paddles, nets, bags, T-ball stands, etc. They CAN’T use anything that is sized: shoes, shirts.

Just clean out your closets, garage, or attic and email redwoodcityreads@comcast.net with your address, put the items in a box or bag on your front porch, and he’ll pick it up. It’s that simple. Please help our community! Thanks.
