Leveling the Playing Field

LPF redistributes equipment to expand access and equity within youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities

[Leveling the Playing Field @LPFsports]

🚨 Stat check! 🚨

Our team has worked hard in 2026 to collect, organize, and distribute sports equipment at a record breaking pace in our seven locations.

We're grateful for each and every one of our supporters and we plan to continue impacting youth sports!

@Judyallbrite @ColumbusCrew Yes, that is correct!

LPF Ohio and the @ColumbusCrew have launched a co-branded metal donation bin! We celebrated the launch with partners such as Columbus Recreation and Parks and Ohio Cat, families and community members, and Evan Bush and Sean Zawadzki of the Columbus Crew!

Don't strike out on this opportunity to give back! KNR is partnering with @LPFsports to collect sports equipment for kids across Ohio. Whether it's baseball bats, soccer balls, hockey sticks—your gently used gear can help level the playing field for children in need.

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. 🤝

Camp Jamison staff picked up 361 pieces of sports equipment from LPF including tennis balls and rackets, cones and skateboards. Basketball gear from LPF was a game changer for campers!

Help us create more sports memories!

Contributions to Summer of Play supports programs offering popular summer activities like swimming! Teaming with programs like Waves4Change keeps kids active outside of school, and helps partners maximize their budget for other needs, such as pool time
