Last month, 11th graders from The Potomac School in McLean, VA visited our warehouse to volunteer as part of their Community Action Day.

We spoke to student-athletes Lila and Leighton about the important role that sports has played in their lives and why giving back through LPF was so meaningful to them.

Thank you to The Potomac School and all of our wonderful volunteers for supporting our mission of getting kids off the sidelines! 🙏

We hear it firsthand from the teachers who see the impact every day.

Every single piece of equipment makes a difference.

This is what we’re making possible together. 🧡💚

Thank you!
