Supporting one athlete matters. Sponsoring a Locker Room can help equip an entire team, league or school program.
Charlie saw quality sports equipment sitting unused while other children were unable to play because they lacked the necessary gear. He shared the idea with his brothers, Niko and Alex, and together they built LiftLocker to turn unused equipment into opportunities for young athletes.
LiftLocker is proud to be an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Founded by three brothers with a shared mission, we're working to remove financial barriers so every child has the opportunity to play, belong, and thrive.
