The FullyEquipped team is very excited to announce two new programs to start the new year! In 2020 we’ll be introducing our Team Up and Equip Every Kid programs.
At FullyEquipped 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.
By partnering with underfunded local schools to equip kids for school, sports, and life, we hope to encourage and increase student-athlete participation in underfunded local schools.
With our Equip Every Kid Program, our goal 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.
Team Up allows you to support a sports team at a local underfunded school by helping equip them with what they need for their season.
When you decide to “Team Up” with a team in your area, you not only commit to supporting a team with the resources they need, but also to building a friendship and connection that’s bigger than just sports.
You can head over to our Team Up page to learn more. If you have an athletic team or volunteer group that wants to partner with a local team in need, you can sign up here.
We are really excited for what the new year has in store! We hope that the Team Up and Equip Every Kid programs can give more young men and women the opportunity to reap the benefits of being a student-athlete.
God Bless,
The FullyEquipped Team
P.S. Do you have or know a school sports team in need? Sign your team up to be apart of the Team Up program and receive assistance from the FullyEquipped community!
