Golf Outing

Children worldwide face barriers to enjoying sports due to limited access to equipment. Countless children wish of an opportunity to have a baseball catch with a friend or kick around a soccer ball. Game Changers addresses this issue to ensure that every child, regardless of their circumstances, can experience the joys of sports and play without the burden of equipment costs.
Game Changers has 150+ connections to organizations around the world to which we donate sports equipment. Organizations can access free sports equipment for their athletic programs by registering as a partner on the Game Changers Marketplace. Once approved, partners can request the specific items they need, making it easier than ever to support youth through sports. Sign up today and start building a custom equipment wishlist for your program!
The impact of our donated sports equipment is everlasting; the children learn to become a part of their larger community through their sports team. Joe Karanja from The Nairobi Tennis Academy in Kenya, one of our partner organizations, said, “with 100 orphans in this program, tennis has changed their lives. Tennis keeps them away from drugs, and allows them to focus on academic work. By excelling in school, the children are able to get tennis scholarships.” The skills that are learned through sports promote discipline and responsibility. Having access to the equipment is just the first step in this journey of success.
GCNY utilizes a multi-step process to achieve its goals. The process is set in motion with collections of donated sports equipment by our volunteers. Since the start of GCNY, this process has become increasingly streamlined with the help of the Sports Equipment Recipient Database and Sports Equipment Marketplace.
Volunteers, via their community service projects, company initiatives, athletic teams, etc. hold equipment collection drives for Game Changers. Use flyers, social media, and email blasts to spread the word!
