Dear Friends of Good Sports,

In 2012 we celebrated a record year at Good Sports, donating more equipment and impacting

more kids nationwide than ever before. None of this would have been possible without the

incredible support of our partners and our fans who have joined us on our mission to give

every child a chance to play.

In our nine years of supporting youth sports and fitness programs we have seen how

important it is to give our kids the opportunity to be physically active in a structured, safe

environment. We have seen how a youth sports program can transform a community and give

its youth a sense of pride and accomplishment. We have seen how teaching our kids ways to

stay active today provides them with the tools they need to live a healthy, active lifestyle

tomorrow. And most importantly, over the past 9 years we have seen hundreds of thousands

of smiles on the faces of kids who have just received brand new equipment - some for the first

time.

In 2012 alone we donated over $1 million worth of equipment to provide over 147,000 kids

an opportunity to play youth sports. We have made incredible progress over the past year and

we look forward to continue to grow and impact even more kids in the years to come.

Our supporters are the key to our success – we would not be here today without you. Thank

you for your tremendous support and for giving us the opportunity to get more kids in the

game!

Best regards,

Melissa Harper Chief Executive Officer

Our Goal: To ensure every child has the opportunity to participate in youth sports and fitness programs regardless of ability to pay. Time to get ALL kids in the game!

“The Atlanta Youth Tennis & Education Foundation is so thrilled to have received an equipment donation from Good Sports and the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation. This will allow more underserved youth in our community the opportunity to be exposed to tennis and the character building lessons associated with this sport. Our youth are desperate for physical activity, and with more racquets and portable nets, we can take tennis to them.” --Atlanta Youth Tennis & Education Foundation

Corey Wootton of the Chicago Bears teamed up with Good Sports to donate nearly $13,000 worth of youth football equipment to the Bulldogs Football program in West Englewood, Chicago. Based in one of the poorest areas in Chicago, the Bulldogs football program supports 100 inner-city youth who love playing football but would otherwise not be able to afford to play. Corey visited the Bulldogs to personally hand out cleats, shoulder pads and uniforms to the players. He spoke with the players about the importance of working hard and staying healthy as he shared stories from his journey to the NFL.

More than 250 local youth had a chance to spend time with Celtics players Brandon Bass, Jason Collins and Kris Joseph to celebrate the unveiling of the newly renovated Lynn YMCA basketball court. The Lynn YMCA serves of 1300 youth in the Metro North area and provides social, recreational and educational experiences to strengthening individuals, families and the community. The Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation and Good Sports teamed up to complete the $40,000 renovation of the basketball court, the kids’ favorite room in the building. After the players spoke to the kids about the importance of making smart choices and living an active, healthy lifestyle, Celtic’s mascot Lucky the Leprechaun ended the event with a special high-flying slam dunk performance.
