What this project looks like on the ground
Volunteers visited a local school and worked with students and staff to clean up and replant a community garden.
SAWB is volunteer-run — no salaries, no office overhead. Donations may pay local organizers and coaches for the year-round work that keeps programs going.
Keep it going
Your gift keeps this going all year
SAWB is volunteer-run. Giving supports the local coaches and organizers leading programs here, the equipment their athletes need, and the cost of running leagues and clinics.
Local organizers and coaches
Trusted local leaders, compensated appropriately for their own economy, who identify needs, run activities and keep programs going all year.
Sports equipment
Gloves, balls, bats, kits, cleats and shoes — collected where we can, purchased where a program still has a gap.
Programs and leagues
The ordinary costs of play: field and gym time, referees, league and clinic materials, and the small things a season needs.
Getting gear where it's needed
Collection, storage, baggage, shipping and customs, so donated equipment actually reaches the athletes using it.
Project travel, only when it counts
Occasional SAWB travel when hands-on clinics, a delivery or a specific project genuinely calls for people on site — never as the default.
