The Sports Shed
SPORTS EQUIPMENT FOR KIDS IN NEED
It's official!! We raised over $7,000 at our first fundraising event on August 20. We are happy with the results and consider the event to be an overall success! A huge thank you to all who came and helped out in any way and supported The Sports Shed. Stay tuned for all the updates on donations we are able to make as a result of the hard work over the last couple months. We will continue to let you know where the sports equipment goes and who it is benefitting.
The Sports Shed is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose passion is to help kids who desire to play sports but don't have resources to buy equipment.
We collect new and gently used sports equipment. The equipment is distributed to noble organizations we partner with, like Girls in the Game and Mercy Home for Boys, who provide sports programs for kids in need.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A CHILD'S LIFE!
