Katie Harrington, a Horsham Little League softball player and Girl Scout is spearheading the ‘Play It Forward’ project. She discussed her inspiration for the initiative, saying, “In almost every sport I have played over the years there are often players who don’t necessarily have all their own equipment, particularly with all the gear needed for softball and baseball. On other hand, some families have equipment that is just sitting around that has been outgrown by their kids. ‘Play It Forward’ is focused on getting the equipment around our community that is just sitting in closets and on shelves into the hands of players who can put it to good use on the playing field. Horsham Little League, and particularly John Sabo and Todd Conn, have been amazing partners to get 'Play It Forward' off the ground. I can’t thank them enough for all of their support and ideas to make this happen for our community.”
