- Hosted our inaugural Sports Matter Day of Play for hundreds of kids at House of Sport locations across the country.
- Raised over $4 million to support youth sports with our first-ever Sports Matter Night.

Twenty House of Sport (HOS) locations across the country hosted the inaugural Sports Matter Day of Play, held in celebration of International Day of Play on June 11. Youth organizations experienced a day filled with unforgettable firsts: riding bikes, swinging golf clubs, climbing rock walls and more! Each organization also received a Sports Matter Grant to continue giving kids the chance to play, grow and belong.

In partnership with Gatorade, NFL star [**Tua Tagovailoa**](https://www.instagram.com/tuaman/?hl=en) surprised kids at the Miami HOS. Gatorade also supported all House of Sport events by keeping the youth athletes refreshed throughout the day.

**Sports Matter Night: A Celebration of the Power of Sports to Change Lives**

On June 10, we hosted our first-ever Sports Matter Night at our Corporate Headquarters in Pittsburgh to celebrate the power of sports and the people who make it possible for kids to play.

The evening was full of meaningful moments. We honored coaches and mentors who shape young lives and heard powerful stories from past grant recipients that reminded us why access to sports is so important.

Together we raised over $4 million to support youth sports by getting more kids in the game, building confidence and continuing to change lives through sport.

**Gatorade Back-to-School Donation**

It’s back-to-school season and to mark the occasion, Gatorade committed $220,500 to Sports Matter. The donation will cover more than 1,000 youth sport registration fees through [**Every Kid Sports**](https://everykidsports.org/) this fall.

**Disaster Relief Update**

In February, DICK’S Sporting Goods and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation [**pledged more than $10 million**](https://investors.dicks.com/news/news-details/2025/DICKS-Sporting-Goods--The-DICKS-Sporting-Goods-Foundation-Pledge-More-Than-10-Million-Towards-California-and-North-Carolina-Disaster-Relief-Efforts/default.aspx) to support disaster relief and sports restoration efforts following the Los Angeles wildfires and flooding in Asheville, North Carolina. To date, 21 Sports Matter Grants have been awarded in those areas.

Included in these disaster relief grants, Sports Matter granted $250,000 to help restore the John B Lewis (JBL) Soccer Complex in Asheville, which suffered extensive damage during the floods from Hurricane Helene. JBL Field is instrumental in serving over 6,700 youth soccer players in the community. The target completion date is October 2025.

Additionally, in Los Angeles, Sports Matter granted $25,000 to Southeast Ventura County YMCA and $60,000 to YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, who are either rebuilding from fire damage or helping families replace their sports equipment.
