Since 2003, Good Sports has provided over $3.1 Million worth of equipment to impact over 150,000 youth.

Massachusetts
Since 2003, Good Sports has had a significant impact on the youth in Massachusetts. In the last five years, $2.8 million worth of equipment has been distributed to 145,000 youth in more than 450 programs. Partnering in these efforts have been Boston sports favorites NESN, WEEI, and the Boston Red Sox to name just a few.

Providence
Good Sports extended their reach to Providence in 2006, aided by a partnership with the Providence After School Alliance. Since that time, Good Sports has provided more than $260,000 worth of equipment to 10,500 youth in 65 programs.

Philadelphia
In 2007, Good Sports expanded to Philadelphia, their first office outside of Boston. In just the last year, Good Sports has developed partnerships with two big names in Philadelphia sports: Comcast SportsNet and the Philadelphia Eagles. Good Sports’ ability to leverage those partnerships has resulted in more than $124,000 worth of equipment donated to 4,100 youth in 13 programs.

Chicago
Good Sports opened its third office in the summer of 2008, this time in Chicago. We are proud to announce a partnership with the Illinois Association of Park Districts to provide sports equipment for disadvantaged youth participating in park programs in the Chicagoland area.

Good Sports and the Lowell Spinners recently made a donation of $10,000 worth of equipment to the Lawrence Central Little League. The program had just purchased new uniforms for their players, replacing the old ones that were worn and fading. As a result, very little money was left over to replace much of the equipment that was no longer safe. Good Sports and the Spinners stepped in by donating helmets, catcher’s equipment, and bats, among other items, helping to complete the league’s makeover.
