Let’s help every young athlete get in the game! ⚾🏀⚽🏈

Republic Parks & Recreation is excited to host our Youth Athletics Equipment Give-Away Day on Saturday, June 13 from 9:00–11:00 a.m. at the Republic Community Center!

This event is part of the RepMo Rotary Club’s Republic Day of Service and is all about community, generosity, and giving kids the chance to play. Families are invited to stop by and pick out free sports equipment for their child while supplies last.

Have equipment your family has outgrown? Bring it in! We are accepting new or gently used sports equipment donations to help another young athlete enjoy their season.

Bring what you can. Take what you need. Help every athlete play!

A big thank you to the RepMo Rotary Club for including this event as part of Republic’s Day of Service!
