Giving Every Athlete Resources

About us

Here at G.E.A.R. we seek to reduce economic barriers such as Pay-to-play fees, athletic department financial constraints, and insufficient athletic equipment that hinder participation in youth organized athletics. Public school budget reductions paired with increased operating expenses have resulted in limited funding available for many public school athletic departments. Many public schools have resorted to charging students Pay-to-Play fees. G.E.A.R. wants to empower youth with the multifaceted benefits of organized athletics that can develop a foundation for winning in life. In collaboration with community organizations, corporations, local businesses, professional athletes, and private investors; G.E.A.R. is able to fundraise the necessary support capital. We work hard to identify partner athletic departments (“AD”) that are in need, understand their needs, and define a support plan for them. We then use the capitol raised to procure and distribute the athletic equipment. At G.E.A.R. we also develop community-based events, such as athletic camps and trainings to increase and support participation. Our goal is to increase participation in youth sports by providing resources and more opportunities.
