NSU is partnering with Globall Giving to collect gently used soccer and baseball equipment as well as uniforms, basketballs and spikes to be distributed to children in need both in the U.S and abroad. 

What is Globall Giving? Globall Giving is a Milwaukee-based 501(c)3 nonprofit, started by a Cedarburg dad and operated by a Thiensville mom. The organization collects new and gently used sporting equipment, apparel and footwear and distributes it to children in need, both in the U.S. and abroad. Currently, the organization is distributing about 70 percent locally and about 30 internationally. Through some tremendously strong, valuable partnerships both in the Milwaukee community, throughout the US and via the Peace Corps, they have been able to positively impact over 42,000 children just in 2015 by donating almost four tons of equipment and apparel. These goods would likely otherwise end up as landfill waste, which negatively impacts the citizens of tomorrow. Further, these 42,000 children are given a chance to play which decreases their risk of obesity, teaches healthy lifestyles choices for the future, reduces their chance of drug and alcohol use and depletes their risk of unplanned, teen pregnancy.

By donating your unwanted sporting goods, you are giving each child a chance to play. By helping to fund Globall Giving, you are allowing them to reach more children, both locally and abroad.
