Why should Good Sports approve your organization to receive equipment donations for the next two years? *
Please list your top five items of need. This does not equate to a list of items you will receive from Good Sports. We rely on equipment partners to donate equipment to us. As such, our inventory fluctuates and is not predictable. We combat this unpredictability by approving organizations for a two-year period and you can receive up to six equipment donations in that period. We use the data below to illustrate the need in the communities we serve to equipment partners.
