Scotts Partners with Every Kid Sports to Fund Youth Sports and Promote Outdoor Play
Our Scotts brand has launched a multi-year collaboration with Every Kid Sports, a national nonprofit, to support income-restricted families by covering youth sports registration fees through The Every Kid Sports Pass. This initiative aims to increase access to natural green spaces for children and their families.
"At Scotts, we believe in the importance of outdoor activities and connecting kids with nature where they can play, grow, and thrive," said John Sass, Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of ScottsMiracle-Gro. "For over a decade, we've been committed to this mission, and we're excited to partner with Every Kid Sports to help more children participate in youth sports. We know that being outdoors strengthens us mentally, physically, and emotionally."
By 2026, Scotts will grant at least $150,000 to support the registration fees for about 800 children in cities like Columbus, Phoenix, and Philadelphia.
To celebrate this partnership, Scotts recently organized a Soccer Field Day in Columbus, Ohio, hosting a soccer clinic for over 60 children from Every Kid Sports families. Players from the Columbus Crew 2 joined in, helping kids get active on the natural turf at McFerson Commons, as part of the Columbus Crew’s Summer of Soccer Fan Fest.
Let's get outside, play, and grow more good together!
