The Girl's Lacrosse team @GroverMS hadn't been abl The Girl's Lacrosse team @GroverMS hadn't been able to field players due to them not having the proper equipment to play.

So, their coach made a visit to LPF Philadelphia and got his players cleats, helping them move at full speed with confidence. The cleats also allowed them to develop their dodges more precisely and perform at their best without restriction.

For these inner-city kids, being able to have cleats for the first time in their lives has helped these girls who'd never played an organized sport before.

"This has made them feel like their endeavor is special and meaningful," said Michael Galbraith.

Through donations from LPF, @cityspringsschool was Through donations from LPF, @cityspringsschool was able to form its first softball team this year! They received bats, softballs, gloves, and more. They had their first game against Ft. Worthington and won‼️

"We were able to start our first ever softball season this year with 4th-8th grade players that had no previous experience," said Annie Owlett. Our catcher especially appreciated the protective gear, which allowed her to feel confident blocking the ball. We are so thankful to be able to play and to do it safely with proper gear!"
