Our mission is simple:

Leveling the Playing Field gives underprivileged children the opportunity to enjoy the physical and emotional benefits of youth sports participation.

We do this by giving completely free used and excess sporting equipment to community groups, youth leagues and schools serving low-income communities. Those donations allow programs to reallocate funds to lower registration fees, expand their scholarship offerings enhance their existing athletic program and/or developing new ones.

Thanks for your support!

"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."

"The partnership we have with LPF has allowed us to redirect funds normally spent on required PE curriculum materials to other vital initiatives such as parent engagement and attendance/behavioral incentives for our students."

The Foundation Schools

"The donation to Powell Elementary School was timely and allowed for an increase in student participation of soccer. Thank you Leveling the Playing Field!"

Powell Elementary School

"LPF has helped our athletic program greatly. We were able to start a girls soccer program and without the donations of LPF, we wouldn't have had enough soccer balls, gloves, cleats, and shin guards. This organization reaches out to the school instead of the school reaching out to them which clearly shows their investment in wanting to improve students overall experience when it comes to high school athletics."
