Research shows that kids who participate in athletics have improved academic performance, greater personal development, and a greater chance of breaking the cycle of poverty.
However, high school and elementary student-athlete participation can often be hindered in many lower income communities due to inadequate resources, lack of funding, and disbelief in the value add of sports.
We believe every kid should be able to participate in sports and school without having to worry about if they have enough money or resources. Our mission at FullyEquipped is to encourage and increase student-athlete participation at underfunded local schools.
With the Equip Every Kid Program, our goal is to make sure every kid that wants to be a student-athlete has the fundamental resources they need to do so. In our world, fundamental can mean: supplemental food programs, books, uniforms, shoes, athletic equipment ranging from sports bras to basketball shoes, and much more.
By providing the means for athletic participation including necessary equipment, adequate facility conditions, proper nutrition, school supplies, and more, we hope to give young men and women the opportunity to reap the benefits of athletics.
At a minimum, we are committed to providing the following resources and sports equipment each year to the schools we serve:
Football Helmets
Football Cleats
Wrestling Shoes
Basketball Shoes
Gym Bags
Uniforms
and much more!
Our goal is to provide the most high quality and longest lasting equipment we can find at an affordable price.
In addition to these items we often provide and accept donations for:
Strength and weight training equipment
Pre-Packaged Snacks, Granola bars, and protein bars
Cases of water and Gatorade
Towels, bottles of shampoo, deodorant, and self-care products
School supplies
Backpacks
Misc. athletic equipment
Gathering donations for our yearly commitment list is just one way you can help support FullyEquipped and student-athletes at local schools. Are you interested in hearing about more ways you can help? Check out our Team Up Program for more opportunities to serve.
