9th Annual giveSPORTS Equipment Drive
Pepsi Center – RAV4 Parking Lot
Saturday, September 12, 2020
9:00 AM–11:30 AM
The giveSPORTS Equipment Drive collects new and gently-used sports equipment and monetary donations to support young Colorado athletes in need. Representatives from the Nuggets, Avalanche, Rapids, and Mammoth will be in attendance to help unload donor vehicles and thank the community for their contributions.
All donors will receive a donation receipt and a coupon for 25% off regularly priced merchandise at AltitudeAuthentics.com (some restrictions apply).
Since its inception in 2012, the giveSPORTS Equipment Drive has collected nearly 200,000 pieces of sports equipment and over $80,000 in sports scholarships to benefit more than 25,000 local children in need.
“There are thousands of Colorado children living in poverty today who want nothing more than to participate in sports alongside their peers,” said Carina Martin, CEO and Founder of A Precious Child. “We are looking to the community to donate sports equipment and funds to help us put all kids in the game regardless of their circumstances.”
A Precious Child invites companies, sports teams/leagues and community groups to join the giveSPORTS Equipment Drive Challenge, which started August 24 and runs to September 11, 2020. Challenge participants are encouraged to collect funds, as well as new and gently-used sports equipment. The group to collect the most funds in each group category will receive a prize on behalf of Kroenke Sports Charities.

Due to COVID-19, enhanced social distancing protocols will be in place to protect both volunteers and donors. Donors will stay in their cars as they drive through to drop off their goods. All volunteers unloading vehicles will be wearing masks and gloves, and there will be a designated area for donors who prefer a contactless experience.
