"I truly appreciate the services provided by LPF. our lacrosse program has grown by two teams because we were able to provide lacrosse equipment to players that may have not been able to afford it other wise."

Old Mill Youth Association

"Thanks to LPF's donation, I was able to acquire enough putters and golf equipment for an adapted physical education unit on mini golf. Golf is an excellent sport to get students with intellectual and physical disabilities engaged in fitness opportunities with their peers and families!"

Damascus High School

"We were able to add an additional opportunity to participate and compete for our female students in the form of a lacrosse team. Our students and school community are truly appreciative of the support that LPF has provided allowing us meet the challenges that we face and compete with other schools in our region."

Randallstown High School

"Our students had limited activities at the shelter prior to the donation that would carry them outside of the home. Having the donations has allowed our shelter youth, especially our male youth to be able to go out and engage in Basketball, football and soccer. This has allowed them a structured sport to help in normalizing the very abnormal life they've lead up to this point through the ability to play a sport."

Loving Arms, Inc.

"LPF's donations allow our students to have the equipment necessary for PE and recess. It also allows our students to be able to continue playing sports during recess, as before if the recess equipment popped or broke in the middle of the school year, they would not have any equipment for the rest of the year."
