PARTNER

At each stop, proceeds will support their mission of providing brand-new equipment, apparel, and footwear to kids in high-need communities. Whether it’s helping a young athlete join their first running club or supplying the gear they need to train and compete safely, this partnership is committed to making sports accessible to all nationwide.

Pennsylvania
Through this partnership, Good Sports is continuing to invest in communities across Pennsylvania by equipping more kids with the resources they need to get active and stay engaged in sports. Over the past three years alone, Good Sports has donated $1.2 million in gear through 205 equipment donations, supporting more than 48,000 children.
“Because of Good Sports, the girls running team was equally transformed… Several girls who were shy at the beginning of the program found their voice and strength over the weeks. One 4th grader, who had never run more than a few minutes, proudly crossed the finish line at the season’s 5K, saying, ‘I didn’t think I could do it, but now I know I can do hard things.’” – Stephen Decatur Elementary School
California
As Diplo’s Run Club visits cities across California, Good Sports is continuing to expand access to youth sports by providing essential equipment, footwear, and apparel to high-need communities. In just the past three years, more than $3.1 million in equipment has already been distributed to over 230,000 kids in the state and this partnership will help reach even more young athletes.
“Because of Good Sports… we could drastically expand our programming… All of our girls were ecstatic about joining with the appropriate attire and with that, the confidence to excel in their exercises.” – Alpha Banca Running Club, San Francisco
“Having shoes and athletic clothing… means that we can instead allocate those funds to provide more scholarships to cover program costs as well as busing for participants to the culminating 5K event.” – Girls on the Run, Los Angeles
Washington
With Diplo’s Run Club stopping in the Pacific Northwest, Good Sports is continuing to support local schools and youth organizations across Washington. In just the past three years, 95 equipment donations have been made, providing over $466,000 in gear to more than 18,000 kids.
“I had 3 girls that were not going to run cross country because they did not have any warm running attire. Due to the leggings we received, and sweatshirts, they were able to participate.” – Agnes Stewart School
New York
New York City is a hub for youth sports, and through the Diplo Run Club partnership, Good Sports will continue its long-standing commitment to equipping young athletes with the resources they need to thrive. Over the past three years, $3.2 million in gear has benefited more than 125,000 kids in New York.
“With the support from the donation, [this student] was able to obtain new running sneakers, apparel, and training gear needed for the season. He had a record-breaking season and is excited to continue to train in the off season.” – STEER for Student Athletes
Florida

“Rebecca… has never owned anything that had a tag on it… Once our program started, we delivered some Good Sports items for Rebecca, including a brand-new pair of shoes… She has been running ever since.” – Miami Partner
Arizona
In Arizona, the Diplo Run Club x Good Sports partnership is supporting youth organizations working to create safe, inclusive sports experiences for kids. In just the past three years, Good Sports has already contributed $290,000 in equipment through 80 donations, reaching over 10,000 kids. This tour stop will help grow that impact even further.
“With this donation we had more girl participants within our club… We want to create a space that all kids are able to play, and with the donations we were able to provide more financial aid overall…” – RSL West Valley, Phoenix
"Every kid deserves the chance to play, grow, and discover what they’re capable of—regardless of their financial situation. By teaming up with Diplo Run Club and activating support across so many vibrant communities, we’re making it possible for more kids to move, dream, and belong through sport."
— Christy Keswick, Co-Founder and President of Good Sports
