216 Sports Bra Drive
Join us at The W Sports Bar on February 1 from 1-3pm as we kick off a week-long, citywide Sports Bra Drive in partnership with Play Gap to support the international nonprofit The Sports Bra Project.
In celebration of National Girls and Women in Sport Day, we’re calling on our Cleveland community to help remove barriers for girls and women to play. Our goal is to collect 216 new sports bras (a tribute to the 216) and encourage donations from $2.16 to $216 to make an even greater impact.
Sports bras are an essential and universal piece of athletic gear, yet so many athletes go without. A lack of proper equipment should never be the reason someone can’t step onto the field, court, or track. This drive is about access, confidence, and making sure athletes of all ages and sizes have what they need to participate fully in sport.
Local sports teams are especially encouraged to attend and donate together. Bring your squad, your energy, and your bras. Whether you’re part of a youth team, an adult league, or simply someone who believes in the power of play, this is your chance to show up for the future of girls and women’s sports in Cleveland!
Let’s show what the 216 can do for the 216!
Wednesday, February 6 • 6pm-8pm
