Good Sports Helps More Kids by Using NetSuite's Cloud Platform

Good Sports Equips Youth with the Tools to Play

Founded in 2003, Good Sports was started with the belief that all kids deserve the right to play sports and be active. By working with brand name sporting good manufacturers, Good Sports is able to donate much needed gear to youth programs in need that apply within the organization. Good Sports has, to date, donated $40 million worth of equipment, benefiting more than six million children.

“We're supporting more kids and organizations and distributing more equipment than ever. NetSuite enables us to see the big picture by putting all our information together in one place.”David McIsaac, Community Partnership Manager, Good Sports, Inc.

Helping Memories to be Made on Court and Field

Teaming with stars, corporate partners: Good Sports works with many organizational and individual donors across the country, including companies like Keurig Dr Pepper, Target and the Chicago Cubs Charities. They also have athletic partnerships with Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Chris Archer. Good Sports’ official spokeperson is TV host and former NFL quarterback Jesse Palmer.

Lack of a uniform view: As it expanded into a 20,000-square-foot warehouse with donated equipment, Good Sports realized it would need greater visibility into donors, donations and operations than its existing Sage and Excel-based processes were providing.

Good Sports scores an assist from NetSuite Social Impact: With a donation from Oracle NetSuite Social Impact, Good Sports created an online submission form for donors, eliminated dual data entry, better tracks its inventory and has gained visibility with real-time reporting. It has earned a four-star rating from Charity Navigator five years in a row.

Meeting an ongoing need: As budget cuts continue to impact youth sports organizations across the country, Good Sports is intent on getting more kids in the game, and reaching out to a growing network of donors.
