We at Playitforward collect new or gently used sports equipment.
We strongly believe that children should spend more time engaging in physical activities rather than being glued to their screens playing video games. Research has shown that regular physical exercise not only improves physical health but also has a positive impact on mental well-being. Unfortunately, not all children have access to the equipment needed to participate in sports and other physical activities, which is where your donations come in.
You can also make monetary contributions
Your contributions will go towards purchasing sports equipment such as soccer balls, basketball hoops, and jump ropes, allowing these children to participate in fun and engaging physical activities. So, we urge you to donate generously and help us positively impact these children’s lives. Let’s encourage kids to spend less time on screens and engage more in physical activities. By donating to our cause, you can help provide underprivileged children with the opportunity to lead healthier and more active lifestyles.

About Us
We are two teenage boys that attend Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York. We are cousins who have been great friends since we were little kids. Now, we decided to find a way to better impact our community. So we are starting this charity in hopes of donating used sports equipment to the underprivileged that do not have the resources to obtain them. Our goal is to put sports equipment in the hands of children that otherwise would never have been given the opportunity. Our charity will help to improve all of Long Island by giving kids a jumpstart at both exercise and sports in general

Donation Sites
At Playitforward, we envision a world where every child, irrespective of their socio-economic background, has the means to play sports and partake in physical activities. We strive to turn this vision into reality through the generous support and donations of sports enthusiasts like you.
