Access Sports Organizing Youth Athletic Equipment Drive

Sept. 12, 2013

Elmhurst, Ill. – Access Sports is currently organizing an athletic equipment drive for their youth sports teams. Access Sports currently fields Baseball, Basketball, Flag Football, Soccer, and Track Teams, but will be grateful for the donation of any equipment. If you have any unneeded equipment, please stop by and donate during one of the following times:

-          Soccer Practice (the York Commons near Smalley Pool, Elmhurst) from 9:00 to 11:15 a.m. Saturday

-          Flag Football Practice (the grassy area in front of York High School, 355 W. St. Charles, Elmhurst) from 3:45-4:30 p.m. Saturday

-          Track Practice (the York High School Fieldhouse, 355 W. St. Charles, Elmhurst) from 4-5 p.m. Sunday

“We’ve been having a banner year so far,” says Dena Seidenfuss, the Access Sports executive director, “and have been able to introduce new Track and Flag Football teams. But with new teams, we are going to need more equipment for our young athletes.”

Access Sports is an organization whose mission is to give children with disabilities a chance to enjoy and excel at sports. The seasons of their Soccer, Track, and Flag Football teams are currently in progress. Their Basketball season will start this January, and the Baseball season in April. Access Sports is a non-for-profit organization and relies on the volunteering and contributions of local citizens to operate.
