We continue to be blown away by our partnership with The Lids Foundation. Thanks to their continued support, nearly an additional 2,500 young athletes from coast to coast...literally from Portland to NYC...have received the equipment they need to continue to play the sports they love. And as if this couldn't be any cooler, the Lids Foundation and Good Sports were able to support 9 different sports including handball, lacrosse, and track!

Here at Good Sports, we believe that ALL kids should have access to ALL sports. That's why we've started our #SheWhoPlays intitiatve to ensure that girls have just as much access to the same sports as boys, including flag football 🏈 We are so grateful for our partners like the NEW BALANCE FOUNDATION that help us make sports dreams come true for girls around the country. Read below to see the impact that was made on a local girl's flag football program! #PlayForAll
