"We had a homeless youth who could not play high school football, after making the team and being academically qualified, because he nor his family could pay the $200 uniform/equipment fee imposed by the school for all student/athletes who didn't have their own equipment. He missed out on his first year as a result. However, thanks to Leveling The Playing Field he was able to play last year and is playing again this year. Now he is a senior and is expected to go to college to earn a degree and continue his football career on the college level."

"Northwood Baseball League has always had challenges when it comes to the kids having the proper equipment on the field. LPF's donations have allowed the league to grow and the kids to have a big smile on their face when we give them equipment that are new to them."

Northwood Baseball League, inc.

"The donation of futsal balls was a huge benefit. It allowed every child to have a ball during sessions, and the right kind of ball for gym spaces to have a high-quality experience during the winter months."

Friends of Carroll Park

"We are beyond fortunate to have this organization provide the aid and support it has given us. Our lacrosse program has thrived from the donations provided by Leveling the Playing Field."

Springbook High School

"The donation of equipment has allowed us make sure that every child has appropriate equipment to learn and enjoy the games of baseball and softball. No one feels under equipped on the field and can have the confidence that they are prepared to play and do their best."

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
