Give Your Sports Gear to Boys and Girls in Need

DoSomething.org is hosting a sports equipment drive at the Boys and Girls Clubs in Pittsburgh.

Olympic Skier Lindsey Vonn and non-profit DoSomething.org teamed up to bring a sports equipment drive to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Pittsburgh.

The drive will run through Oct. 10 and encourages teens to collect gear from their schools and communities to donate them to athletes in need at local after-school programs. 

So far, the drive is just in the beginning stages in Pittsburgh, but has shown to be very successful in other cities.
