College Donor Compliance:
The 2007-2008 NCAA Manual states that University Athletics may donate equipment per the bylaw listed: 13.15.1.6 Donation of Equipment.
13.15.1.6.1 Athletics Equipment. A member institution may not provide athletics equipment to a high school. However, a member institution is permitted to provide athletics equipment to bona fide youth organizations (e.g., the YMCA, YWCA, boy scout troops, girl scout troops, a summer recreation league) that may consist of some prospective student-athletes, provided the issuance of equipment is in accordance with the institution’s regular policy regarding the discarding of equipment. Further, only those organizations within a 30-mile radius of the campus may be provided such equipment by the institution. Violations of this bylaw do not affect a prospective student-athlete’s eligibility and are considered institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1. (Revised: 4/26/01)
13.15.1.6.1.2 Donation of Used Athletics Equipment to Foundation. An institution may donate used athletics equipment to a nonprofit foundation established to distribute such equipment to high schools, provided the request for such donations is initiated by the foundation and the institutions have no part in selecting the high schools that are to receive the equipment. (Adopted: 1/11/94)
Any equipment donated by colleges and universities outside of the 30 mile radius will NOT be used stateside. This equipment will strictly be distributed overseas so that all colleges and universities may contribute to the Sport 4 Peace equipment fund. Thank you in advance for your contribution!
