THANK YOU to all LPF supporters who donated, sprea THANK YOU to all LPF supporters who donated, spread the word, and kickstarted a Summer of Play! The $17,000 raised will be matched by an anonymous donor and go twice as far to support over 500 beneficiary programs. 🤝

Together, we're looking forward to providing over 50,000 kids with access to the free sports equipment they need to stay active in sports, and make this their best summer yet! 🥇
Summer is here! Did you know that about 12.6 mill Summer is here!

Did you know that about 12.6 million kids don’t have access to structured summer opportunities due to costs and other barriers (Afterschool Alliance, 2026)? That’s more than half of the nation’s kids!

There’s still time to make a difference! Every donation to our Summer of Play campaign helps unlock benefits of summer camp, including 63% of parents reporting their child continues to participate in new activities he or she learned at camp. (stats provided by the American Camp Association).

All contributions are matched through midnight, tonight, until we reach $20,000! Will your donation be the one to help us surpass our goal?
Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickb Remember playing tag, soccer, basketball, or kickball with new friends at summer camp? Play is a staple of summer, but for many kids there is a financial barrier keeping them on the sidelines.

LPF helps remove this barrier by providing free sports equipment to programs like @camp_jamison

Across three years, Camp Jamison staff picked up 361 pieces of sports equipment from LPF including tennis balls and rackets, cones, skateboards, and basketball gear. The basketball gear from LPF was a game changer for campers who don’t play basketball regularly, and reinforced what Camp Jamison is all about: building skills, relationships, and confidence to navigate life with a purpose.

Through LPF's Summer of Play campaign, you can help us create more cherished sports memories for kids across the country. For every $100 donated, we can equip 20 kids to enjoy all that sports have to offer this summer.

Together, we can provide free gear and a summer of PLAY for 50,000 kids. Check out our story and bio for more info!
