Horsham Little League Collecting Equipment Donations

Horsham Little League is continuing its successful 'Play It Forward' program, which collected nearly 800 pieces of donated baseball and softball equipment last year. The donated equipment was cleaned, adjusted and repaired to then be provided to baseball and softball players in the community who are in need of gear.

The first 'Play It Forward' donation station is scheduled for:

When: Saturday, February 22, 2019 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm
Where: Deep Meadow Park parking lot

The baseball and softball equipment donations being sought include:

• Bats
• Helmets
• Facemasks
• Gloves
• Batting Gloves
• Equipment Bags
• Cleats
• Uniform Pants / Belts
• Baseballs / Softballs

Katie Harrington, a Horsham Little League softball player, who started the 'Play It Forward' initiative as her Girl Scout Silver Award project discussed the inspiriation for the program, saying, "In almost every sport I have played over the years there are often players who don't necessarily have all their own equipment, particularly with all the gear needed for softball and baseball. On other hand, some families have equipment that is just sitting around that has been outgrown and goes unused. 'Play It Forward' is focused on getting the equipment around our community that is just sitting in closets and on shelves into the hands of players who can put it to good use on the playing field."

If you have baseball or softball equipment that you would like to donate you can do so on Saturday, February 22, from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at the Deep Meadow Park (1020 Horsham Rd, Horsham, PA 19044) parking lot. Also, if you have friends, family, teammates or neighbors who may also have equipment to donate, please pass this information onto them.

If you have any questions or can't make the first donation station dropoff time please contact HLLPlayItForward@gmail.com.

Also, online registration for the Spring 2020 Horsham Little League season closes this Friday, February 21.
