Black River Schools’ Equipment Purchase to Benefit Boys and Girls
Club.
Holland, MI (USA), April 16, 2014 — Worldplay™ Sport (
http://www.worldplaysport.com ), a West Michigan start-up company,
recently rolled out a new Buy One – Give One business model aimed at
bringing much-needed sports equipment to schools and non-profit
organizations.
Black River Public Schools, located in Holland, Mich., is one of the
first organizations to participate, with its purchases being matched
with equipment given to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland.
“As a charter school, we look to improve our athletic programs and
support the community as well. Working with Worldplay™ Sport, we
have been able to partner with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater
Holland to provide basketballs for their after school athletic
programs,” said Kyle Lawton, athletic director of Black River Public
Schools. (Free-Pr-Online.com)
Worldplay™ Sport’s president and co-founder, Chris Timmer, is a
firm believer in building leadership, confidence and interpersonal
skills through team sports, and Worldplay Sport allows like-minded
individuals to help simply by purchasing sports equipment through this
giving business model.
The benefits of participating in sports at the primary and secondary
schools are well-documented. Worldplay™ Sport’s mission is to
ensure kids of all ages have access to sports equipment so they can
receive those benefits. In fact, sports have played a major role in
Timmer’s life. He explained: “I played a lot of ball as a kid and
also through high school and college. I played because I’m
competitive and it was fun. But looking back, I appreciate how much I
gained through team sports, and how it helped shape my career and my
skill set. Now, I see kids that don’t have access to that same
experience, either because their school doesn’t have the budget or
the local organizations don’t have the resources or simply don’t
see sports as a priority.
Timmer added: “So maybe your company donates $500 to the local Boys
and Girls Club, and that’s good, don’t get me wrong, but that $500
might go to fix the roof or other maintenance. Now, with WorldPlay™,
your company can buy basketballs instead and then the Boys and Girls
Club with also receive basketballs. That keeps the game going and
gives kids the same tools that I had.”
Worldplay™ Sport ( http://www.worldplaysport.com ) has created
programs through their giving business model that allow schools, parks
and recreation departments, churches, and individuals the ability to
purchase products and have Worldplay™ give additional products to
those in need.
“We are very excited about the business and its ability to reach
athletes in need in the U.S., as well as around the world,” Timmer
continued. “We want to give everyone the opportunity to experience
the benefits of sports.”
