Ohio

LPF opened its inaugural warehouse in Washington, DC in 2013. Since then, we have successfully replicated our model to Baltimore, MD in 2018, Philadelphia, PA in 2021, and now Columbus, OH in 2023! Our program has the opportunity to help local students experience a childhood full of positive youth sports memories and take advantage of the physical and mental benefits youth sports have to offer.

Contributions to our Summer of Play campaign suppo Contributions to our Summer of Play campaign supports camps and programs offering popular summer activities like swimming! Teaming with programs like @waves4change.official keeps kids active outside of school, and helps partners maximize their budget for other needs, such as pool time

In one of LPF’s largest distributions ever, Waves4Change received over 30 boxes of brand new boys and girls' swimsuits

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
