ABOUT 

Kids Being Kids 2024 is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing sports equipment to less fortunate kids.

We believe that every child deserves the chance to play, learn, and grow through sports.

OUR MISSION

At Kids Being Kids 2024, we are committed to breaking down the barriers that prevent children from accessing sports equipment.
