Help equip kids in Western NY to play the sports they love

By donating to LPF, you can help provide a child with the opportunity to experience the joys of sports and recreation. 

About LPF Western NY

Leveling the Playing Field redistributes free sports equipment to kids from under-resourced communities across the country, ensuring they can access the mental and physical benefits of youth sports.

LPF opened its inaugural warehouse in Washington DC in 2013,  successfully replicated our model in 2018 when we expanded into Baltimore, and then Philadelphia in 2021. 

LPF is excited to have its fourth and fifth warehouses open in 2023 in Columbus, OH and Buffalo, NY. We need your support to help us get off the ground in Western NY! Your contributions will help us cover the costs of rent, utilities, shelving and storage, travel for our staff to pick up gear across the Greater Buffalo area, and other program costs. Thanks to generous community partners we are quickly making progress in Western NY collecting sports equipment, fundraising, and spreading the word about our work. 

Our goal is to raise an additional $100,000 by 2027 to help sustain our work long-term. With your help, we can increase access to youth sports and recreation in Western NY.
