Our Scotts brand has kicked off a multi-year partnership with Every Kid Sports, a national nonprofit organization, to financially support income-restricted families by funding youth sports registration fees through The Every Kid Sports Pass, with the goal to provide expanded access to natural green spaces.

"Scotts believes in the power of the outdoors and connecting kids and their families to green spaces to play, thrive, learn and grow and we've been dedicated to this mission for more than a decade," John Sass, Vice President, Chief Creative Officer of ScottsMiracle-Gro, says. "We're proud to be partnering with Every Kid Sports to help more kids enjoy youth sports because we are all mentally, physically and emotionally stronger when we are able to get outdoors and enjoy natural green spaces."

Scotts will award a grant totaling at least $150K by 2026 to fund registration fees for approximately 800 kids in areas including Columbus, Phoenix, and Philadelphia.

To bring this partnership to life and celebrate the joy of getting outside and playing on natural grass, Scotts recently hosted a Soccer Field Day in Columbus, Ohio. Scotts, alongside athletes from the Columbus Crew, hosted Every Kids Sports families for a soccer clinic which helped more than 60 kids get outside and get active with Crew 2 players.

The event took place on the natural turf field at McFerson Commons, as a part of the Columbus Crew's Summer of Soccer Fan Fest.

Let's get outside, play and GroMoreGood, together.
