We are East Lyme Vikings and we play it forward by recycling lightly used sporting equipment for those in need in the community.

Often when children progress through sports, the gear bought for them is either thrown out or given to charity outside the community. Our goal is to collect, clean, repair, and redistribute sporting equipment directly to members within our community in need.

Our Organization

Vikings Play It Forward is a non-profit organization created by students in the East Lyme community to directly help other East Lyme community members by supplying new or used youth sporting equipment to those in need.

Make a donation.

It all begins with an idea, but in the end requires action by community members to assist those less fortunate. Please consider donating directly to the cause. 100% (minus a small processing fee by PayPal) of monetary donations will flow down to those most needy applicants.

All donations are tax deductible (within the limits of the tax code) and are sorely appreciated! Press the DONATE button below to donate via PayPal.

Alternatively, attend one of our donation events and bring your used equipment, or email the link at the bottom of the page to set up a custom donation.
