No child should be prohibited from playing a sport because their families are going through hard times.
 
Score4Kids, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to making organized sports accessible and affordable to any child in the Metro Detroit Area.  We have been collecting donated sports gear and redistributing it to families, camps and schools that have been affected by the current economic conditions. Since May of 2009 we have made a difference in the lives of hundreds of kids already.  We beleive that our program is beneficial because being involved in sports can:  

    • keep at-risk youth involved in safe/structured activities
    • teach responsibility, self-esteem and cooperative effort
    • keep kids motivated, focused and doing better in school
    • increase physical activity which lowers the risk of obesity, diabetes and other health problems 

As a result of our efforts we also keep used sports equipment out of landfills by recycling it to help a child in need.

We currently work together with local leagues, schools, organizations and camps to get the word out to families of our donations and our need for donations.  To date, we have collected over 1400 pieces of equipment from various sports including baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer, rollerblading, skiing, snowboarding and golf.  We have donated close to 500 pieces of equipment to families, camps, a private, non-profit school and a non-profit golf program for kids in just 2 ½ months.


The financial need in Michigan is great.  There are many families, camps and schools that could benefit from Score4Kids, Inc. and its mission.  Please consider being a sponsor by either donating sports equipment or bymaking a financial investment in our kids' futures.

We also accept and very much appreciate monetary donations for new equipment, protective gear and registration fees.

Thank you,
Karen Schultz,
Executive Director
