Working together to ensure youth sports survives and thrives after the pandemic and ensure low-income kids benefit from the power of sport
BEND, OR, March 15, 2021 – Every Kid Sports, a leading national non-profit organization that provides financial support to children of low-income families to pay sports registration fees, has announced that Stack Sports, headquartered in Plano, TX, has joined their national fundraising campaign. Stack Sports is the global leader in sports technology, including league management software.
Stack Sports is joining the Every Kid Sports national fundraising campaign and will be supporting the effort in multiple ways. Firstly, to help struggling leagues impacted by the pandemic, Stack Sports has launched a program to help local leagues raise money to offset canceled seasons. Local organizations can now sell t-shirts to friends and families as a fundraiser through their Fan Wear store which is integrated into registration. A portion of each sale will go to Every Kid Sports to help low-income families in need.
“We are so excited to be able to support an organization like Every Kid Sports and our local Partners with this initiative. Finding ways to make sports more accessible to families is an important part of what we do every day,” said Brandon Shangraw, VP of Marketing and Innovation at Stack Sports. “Our mission to grow participation has never been more important to us than it is now and this partnership does exactly that.”
In addition, Stack Sports has joined as a communications partner of Every Kid Sports; helping to build awareness of the “We Pay. Kids Play.” campaign. Lastly, Stack Sports will continue to look for ways to integrate with Every Kid Sports and explore additional opportunities to support the effort to get more kids in the game.

Stack Sports has a huge reach and working together we can help youth sports organizations survive and thrive through the pandemic and get more kids in sports. We believe this will be a long partnership benefiting thousands of kids over time.”
