About C4K

Sports provide kids a unique way to strengthen their bodies, minds and characters. In fact, sports may be just the thing that helps change a child’s life by improving their health or giving them a much-needed place to belong. However, one in four families in Oklahoma lives in poverty and 90% of kids in Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) receive free or reduced lunch. In households where putting food on the table is difficult, purchasing gear to play sports safely can be out of the question. These kids are the largest group of C4K recipients and may never get to play sports without C4K’s help.

C4K is able to provide this equipment free of charge through community drives and drop-off donation centers where we gather new and used equipment from across the community. Once the gear is collected, hundreds of volunteers then help us sort and clean each piece of equipment so young athletes and coaches can come and “shop” at the C4K store free of charge.
