Our Story
Founded in 2024, Ripple Drive was born out of a simple idea:
What if we could give every child an opportunity to play?
At Ripple Drive, we believe sports are more than just a game - they’re a gateway to opportunity, confidence, and community. But for too many young athletes, the cost of sports gear is a barrier they can’t overcome. Without the right shoes, jerseys, or equipment, they’re forced to sit on the sidelines. We’re here to change that.
How can we make a difference?
Collect
We gather new and gently-used sports equipment from individuals, communities, clubs and companies.
Distribute
We partner with nonprofits, schools, and community centers to get sports gear into the hands of kids who need it most.

Inspire
We create opportunities for children to participate, belong, and succeed.
Help Play It Forward and build a world where more children get the chance to play, grow, and thrive.
I am currently a high school student. I started this initiative to ensure no child gives up on their dreams due to circumstances beyond their control. With each donation, partnership, and act of kindness, we’re changing lives one piece of sports gear at a time.
