BB x FFTW Donation Bins across the NWSL!
Bootbags and Football for the World came together with a shared mission: To repurpose and redistribute unused soccer equipment to those in need. With our partnership forged and our history of successful collaborations and impactful projects, we've garnered recognition across the soccer community.
In 2021, our journey took a monumental turn as we collaborated to install co-branded donation bins in every NWSL locker room facilitated by partnerships with NWSL players like Dani Weatherholt, Ashley Hatch, Carson Pickett, Lu Barnes, and Julia Ashley.
Our mission in 2024 remains steadfast: to build the largest donation network in soccer, with the NWSL as our pioneering frontier. United in purpose, we aim to transform the landscape of giving.
Rescuing Gear, Transforming Lives: We're committed to giving unused gear a new purpose, providing hope and opportunity with every ball, boot, and training supply.
Focusing on Essentials, Selectively: Our focus is on vital gear like balls and boots, ensuring each donation makes a difference. Every item has a purpose, every donation tells a story of hope.
Innovation in Sustainability: Beyond donations, we're pioneering upcycled products, reducing waste and crafting a legacy of stewardship for future generations.
