Game On-Community Places to Play is an initiative of The DICK’s Sporting Goods Foundation and LISC. To date, the initiative has provided funding and technical assistance to community-rooted organizations working to create and renovate multi-use youth sport spaces for youth ages 6-24 years old in under-resourced communities across the country with special consideration given to groups that demonstrated how their capital projects supported additional youth development programming.
