Bounce Back Give Back
Our Mission
Why We Do It
Our goal at "Bounce Back Give Back" is to redistribute sports equipment to expand access and equality for youth sports. We match community needs with donated inventory to get sports equipment into the hands of those who need it, ensuring every child gets a chance to play.
Our History
As a student-athlete for many years, I have been fortunate to have the equipment to support my athletic interests.
After a knee injury in 2024, I was sidelined from sports and was looking for a home for my sports equipment, which I've acquired from 10+ years of play. The equipment ranged from new/never-used cleats that didn't fit quite right to well-loved sticks and goggles waiting for a new purpose and new dream.
Similar to me, many of my teammates, classmates, and neighbors had equipment on the sidelines that needed a player. From there, bounce back-give back was born to bring equipment to youth athletes.
