Kids throughout Bay County picked out gently used sports equipment for free on Saturday.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - Many families throughout Bay County didn’t have to break the bank to get high-quality sports equipment Saturday.
Publix Sports Park, Coastal Waste & Recycling, and United Way of Northwest Florida teamed up to host their first Youth Sports Equipment Swap from 9 a.m. to noon. People donated gently used sports gear over the past three months to make the event possible. PanCare also provided free sports physicals.”It’s not, you know, a $40 or $50 registration fee for the parks, Lauren Hopkins, Commercial Sales Executive at Coastal Waste & Recycling, said. “It’s definitely the $100 bat and cleats and equipment. By the time you’re done it’s a couple hundred dollars.
The remaining gear is now at Family Services Agency. Hopkins said she hopes to hold the event again next year. NewsChannel 7 was told around 150 families stopped by.
