"HELPING EACH OTHER HELP OTHERS"
HOW WE HELP
Play It Forward Foundation provides adolescents in urban and rural settings the opportunity to experience the life-changing opportunities that sports and exercise have to offer by removing barriers and obstacles created by the high cost of equipment.
One of the biggest barriers to youth sports is the cost of equipment. By donating your old athletic equipment to Play It Forward Foundations, you help give a child the chance they deserve to play a sport. You can make the difference that will change a child’s life forever.

WHO WE ARE
"I sustained four concussions and a serious neck injury which forced me to stop playing contact sports. Losing the ability to play the sports I loved was devastating but never having had the chance to play them in the first place would have been even worse! Sports taught me about character, grit, goals, failure and teamwork" -Reyn Owen
