Your donation does more than provide equipment. It creates opportunity.
Neighbors, families, and local teams keep every locker moving.

Future Slugger
17 items remaining to complete this locker.
Charlie first came up with the idea for LiftLocker while hanging out in a friend's basement. He noticed baseball gloves, soccer balls, basketballs, and other sports equipment sitting unused because his friend had moved on to golf. Charlie realized that while one family no longer needed those items, another child might never get the chance to play because they couldn't afford them. That simple moment inspired LiftLocker.
