Athletic Equipment for Underprivileged Youth

Surgance volunteers believe that when children participate in youth sports they learn life lessons that will serve them well for years to come. Lessons in character development, socialization, sacrifice, team work, discipline and integrity. Not having equipment to play with can hinder young disadvantaged youth from participation.

Enter Surgance. Through our Athletic Equipment for Underprivileged Youth program, Surgance volunteers perform drives for equipment, repair and/or distribute it to organizations and children in need in the USA and the Dominican Republic.

“Dominican players practice and play the game of baseball every day of the year. Those who are fortunate enough to have gloves simply wear them out after several years of use; most can’t afford to buy a new one. I have said, ‘Giving a glove to a young Dominican baseball player is like giving an American kid a BMW.’ God has given us many ways to express our faith through love: you can visit an elderly person, mentor the child of a single parent, help your neighbor in various ways, or repair gloves for young boys in a third world country.”
