DOUBLE PLAY ATL WELCOMES
YOU

At Double Play ATL, we are driven by a single goal; to help kids who want to play but lack the gear. In our small way, we want to make the world a better place.  We strive to build community relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits. Since 2017, with the help of our community and now 40+ partners including Dick's Sporting Goods, Westminster's Glenn Institute, and NYO, we have donated over 9,270+  pieces of equipment estimated at $93,970+(as of May 2023). Through our partnerships with Nike and Madewell, we have expanded our mission to recycle not just sports gear, but athletic shoes and jeans. These are turned into playgrounds and home insulation.

​

In 2020, we established the Double Play ATL Scholarship in partnership with Northside Youth League. This scholarship is to help kids who want to play but can't because of the finances. Using funds awarded to Double Play, we sponsored our first scholarship in November of 2020. In partnership with Dick's Sporting Goods, in 2022, in addition to sponsoring an athlete's registration fees, we provided $300 in new gear as well.

2021, Special thanks to YOU International, with funds awarded to us, we donated $250 to the Jordan Sloan GoFundMe, a local athlete in our community. Special thanks to PopMenu for sponsoring us and for Roswell Recreation for donating 20 pitching machines. This is incredible!

​

2022 was our best year yet with over 1000+ gear donated and 150 bats alone in January, 300 athletic shoes collected in April, the new Triple Play Gear Dugout at NYO with a team of 11 from the Westminster Schools, and free Triple Play Money Management Talks in partnership with Merrill Lynch/ B of A. 

​

2023 brought together the team work of NYO, Merrill Lynch, Atlanta and Finance leaders to work together to make Double and Triple Play better through Westminster's JanTerm Program. Lead by James Rhee,  together, we created a new AED fundraiser, worked to make sure all the AEDs of our NYO community were in working order, hosted a gear drive, and lead a financial education seminar for the underserved.

2023 brought out biggest partnership yet with 680 The Fan, the official radio station of the Braves! Partnering to do 7 drives in just a few months, it is estimated we collected ~100K gear in just this year alone. Our newest destination for a gear donation is the Virgin Islands this summer.  This may be our best year ever! 

We are all in this together to level the playing field in Atlanta and beyond!
