Now through February 28, you can donate any gently used sports gear that you no longer need. Bring your used footballs, helmets, soccer balls, volleyballs, basketballs, baseballs, softballs, bats, gloves, sports bags and more to any Earnhardt Auto Centers location.

Visit abc15.com/gear or Earnhardt.com to find a donation site that is convenient for you. You can also make a financial donation at the same site. For example, $20 can sponsor one child for league soccer, and $50 can sponsor one child for Jr. Suns Basketball. A donation of $100 sponsors a referee for one game, and a $150 donation sponsors a team for one season. All donations are appreciated!
