The 4th Annual giveSPORTS Equipment Drive Presented by IHOP and KeyBank will be held at Pepsi Center on Saturday, August 29 from 9 AM to Noon in the Rav 4 Parking Lot. Event co-founders, Kroenke Sports Charities and A Precious Child, invite the public to support underprivileged children in their desire to participate in sports by donating new and gently-used sports equipment and monetary donations to benefit A Precious Child’s giveSPORTS program.
WHY giveSPORTS?
The giveSPORTS program provides new and gently-used sports equipment to disadvantaged and displaced children by allowing them the opportunity to get involved in organized sports. Additionally, giveSPORTS provides scholarships to cover the costs of registration and other sports-related fees. Nearly 75 percent of children in low-income families rarely have the opportunity to participate in organized sports. Statistically, participation in extra-curricular sports significantly impacts short and long-term educational, emotional, behavioral, and physical outcomes for disadvantaged, poverty stricken youth.
