Gear Up for Good!

Do you have any gently used sports equipment that you're sick of storing in your garage? Donate to our sports equipment drive! Tulsa Area United Way has teamed up with Tulsa Sports Commission to make sure money for equipment isn't a barrier for athletes in our community.

Drop-off your bats, balls, helmets, and more at one of our collection sites from August 17 - October 19 and we'll give them to local athletes in-need.

Can't wait to donate? We'll be accepting donations of sports equipment at the Downtown Deco Challenge tomorrow!

If you have any questions, please contact Joel Koester at [email protected].
