A soccer ball is a portal to more than a sport. It's an invitation to play, make friends, and get outside. The World Cup has concluded, but the impact in our communities continues.

This year alone, LPF has distributed over 4,000 soccer balls across our seven markets! Because of your generosity, thousands of kids now have greater access to the game and the opportunity to grow, thrive, and experience the joy that soccer brings.

Thank you to everyone who has donated gear, volunteered their time, and contributed financially this summer to ensure LPF can continue bringing joy to more kids🏆

Girls deserve to play with confidence. 💙🏃‍♀️

We were proud to partner with the G.I.R.L.S. Sports Foundation today in Buffalo, NY for a special sports bra distribution event, helping ensure more young athletes have access to one of the most essential and often overlooked pieces of sports equipment.

A huge thank you to the G.I.R.L.S. Sports Foundation and everyone who helped make this event possible. Your support is helping create more opportunities for girls to play, grow, and thrive through sports.

🚨 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 throughout 2026 and beyond!

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. 🤝

Together, we're looking forward to providing over 50,000 kids with access to the free sports equipment they need to stay active in sports, and make this their best summer yet! 🥇

Did you know that about 12.6 million kids don’t have access to structured summer opportunities due to costs and other barriers (Afterschool Alliance, 2026)? That’s more than half of the nation’s kids!

There’s still time to make a difference! Every donation to our Summer of Play campaign helps unlock benefits of summer camp, including 63% of parents reporting their child continues to participate in new activities he or she learned at camp. (stats provided by the American Camp Association).

All contributions are matched through midnight, tonight, until we reach $20,000! Will your donation be the one to help us surpass our goal?

Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickball with new friends at summer camp? Play is a staple of summer, but for many kids there is a financial barrier keeping them on the sidelines.

LPF helps remove this barrier by providing free sports equipment to programs like Camp Jamison

Across three years, Camp Jamison staff picked up 361 pieces of sports equipment from LPF including tennis balls and rackets, cones, skateboards, and basketball gear. The basketball gear from LPF was a game changer for campers who don’t play basketball regularly, and reinforced what Camp Jamison is all about: building skills, relationships, and confidence to navigate life with a purpose.

Through LPF's Summer of Play campaign, you can help us create more cherished sports memories for kids across the country. For every $100 donated, we can equip 20 kids to enjoy all that sports have to offer this summer.

Together, we can provide free gear and a summer of PLAY for 50,000 kids: https://give.levelingtheplayingfield.org/campaign/803245/donate?c_src=SOCIAL

Contributions to our Summer of Play campaign supports camps and 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

In one of LPF’s largest distributions ever, Waves4Change received over 30 boxes of brand new boys and girls' swimsuits

Since 2025, LPF has distributed $77,000 worth of swimming gear to Waves4Change! With these donations, kids can focus on what Waves4Change calls "the superhero magic of swimming," without worrying about the costs of proper equipment

We want to continue making memories this summer and we need your help! Learn more by visiting: https://give.levelingtheplayingfield.org/campaign/803245/donate?c_src=SOCIAL
