On Saturday, December 17th in collaboration with the Toys for Tots Foundation, the Washington Commanders Charitable Foundation came together with non-profit organizations from the DMV area to distribute more than 2,000 toys and team gifts to local youth at Commanders Field.

Leveling the Playing Field was founded in 2013 in response to the growing inequity between those that can afford to play sports and those that cannot, and the prominent role the cost of sporting goods has played in that gap. Leveling the Playing Field's core mission is to redistribute equipment to expand access and equity within youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities. With locations in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, Leveling the Playing Field has collected and redistributed over $12.5 million worth of sports equipment to over 1,800 unique schools, sports leagues, and other programs serving kids in need. The Commanders have collaborated with LPF to fund the permanent installation of seven donation drop-off bins throughout the DMV area.
