Thousands of Colorado children live in poverty who want nothing more than to participate in sports alongside their peers. The folks at the giveSPORTS Equipment Drive want to help put all kids in the game regardless of their circumstances.
Kroenke Sports Charities, in partnership with A Precious Child and Colorado Honda Dealers, invites the public to support underprivileged children by dropping off new and gently-used sports equipment. Participation in extracurricular sports significantly impacts short and long-term educational, emotional, behavioral and physical outcomes for disadvantaged, poverty-stricken youth.
Since its inception, the giveSPORTS Equipment Drive has served 102,557 local children in need by providing 302,370 pieces of sports equipment and more than $127,000 in sports scholarship funds.
Representatives from the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Mammoth, and Colorado Rapids will be in attendance to greet donors. Donors attending the event on September 20 will receive a tax donation letter and a voucher valid for two (2) tickets to a Nuggets or Avalanche pre-season home game, while supplies last. Cash donations will be accepted at the event.
The 14th annual giveSPORTS Equipment Drive, presented by Colorado Honda Dealers, will be held at Ball Arena on Saturday, September 20th, 2025, from 9 to 11 a.m. in the RAV4 Parking Lot (located between 9th & 11th St., between Chopper Cir. & Auraria Pkwy.).
