You all know I often say I “GET” to do these things. For this partnership and opportunity, I “GET” to just make the connection and share the announcement. This is so very cool.
Two of our most treasured partners have joined forces here in Columbus, Ohio to offer an opportunity for anyone to contribute. The best part, you probably already have something around the house that you can donate…..
It’s an old gently used jersey (or new one).
If you’re like me, you bought a jersey. Maybe your favorite player got traded. Maybe you bought it for your kids and they outgrew it. Maybe YOU outgrew it. Whatever the reason, this is a judgment free zone! Jerseys of Hope and Just Hoops Columbus have partnered to offer a dropoff location for that jersey. Your generous donation will give someone going through a tough time hope and joy. Check this out…..
Just Hoops is going to host a Jersey Drive this holiday season to support this local non-profit organization. What a way to teach our kids to give this holiday season. If you have any old jerseys around your house, any size, team or player, please bring them in and drop them off in the bin at any Just Hoops location.
Donate:
Slightly Used or New Jerseys of any size, player, or team.
When:
This holiday season. The earlier the better so these jerseys can reach the local hospital patients.
Where:

About Jerseys of Hope
Jerseys of Hope is a non-profit organization committed to inspiring a sense of community and well-being in hospitals through the donation of new and gently used athletic jerseys to be worn by patients rooting for their favorite team.
“After my mom Sharon was diagnosed with cancer, I saw firsthand the sadness and isolation some patients experience while in the hospital. I also saw, on a Sunday in that Baltimore-area hospital, the buzz of life and energy as dozens of patients gathered together to cheer on the Baltimore Ravens. From then on, I wanted to promote the weekly sense of community these patients were able to feel when, for an afternoon, they could forget about being a patient, and enjoy being a sports fan.”
-John Biemer, Founder & President
Since their inception, Jerseys of Hope has helped impact thousands of children in 13 states and 3 countries.
