Welcome to the Up2Us Online Sports Exchange, an online community where Up2Us member organizations can connect with individuals and businesses with sports resources to share.
The need for donations is great.
Research has shown that children who play sports are more likely to remain in school and more likely to establish and maintain lifelong health eating and exercise routines. They are less likely to experience teenage pregnancy, experience chronic medical conditions like obesity, asthma or diabetes and join gangs.
Yet, Up2Us research has shown that high-school sports programs have lost more than $2 billion in the past year due to budget cuts. The impact on community-based programs is just as severe. These cuts have been particularly damaging in underserved urban communities.
Organizations, tell us what you need.
Do youth in your programs lack uniforms? Sneakers? Water bottles?
Individuals and businesses, tell us what you have.
Up2Us member organizations are thrilled to accept new or gently used equipment donations.
Up2Us takes care of the rest. We match member organizations and donors in similar geographical locations to facilitate the exchange of equipment.
