Donate & Save. Help support youth sports in our WNY community by donating new and gently used sports equipment products now through April 19. Pay no join fee when you bring a donation item to any YMCA Buffalo Niagara location, a savings of $50! All donated products will go to Leveling the Playing Field to benefit local kids who don’t have access to quality sports equipment. Donations must be in safe, functional condition to be accepted.
