Community Support
Friend School of Baltimore will be collecting gently used and new sports clothing and equipment for Level the Playing Field / LPF. Collection boxes will be located in the Lobby of the Athletic Center.

LPF Mission - LPF redistributes equipment to expand access and equity within youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities.
LPF Vision - A world with no sidelines.
LPF History - Leveling the Playing Field was founded in 2013 in response to the growing inequity between those who can afford to play sports and those who cannot, and the prominent role the cost of sporting goods played in that gap. After working in youth sports, college athletics, and professional football, our founder, Max Levitt, realized the volume of equipment that goes to waste from elementary school-aged kids all the way up to our professional sports franchises.  In response, he decided to develop essentially a food bank for sports equipment.
