GEAR THE GLOBE

Gear the Globe is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded by Sam Cardella, a 9th grader from Mendham, NJ, who plays lacrosse for the STEPS 2022 White team. Sam came up with the idea of collecting used gear through a traveling shipping container at lacrosse tournaments through a touring model. Sam said,

“My passion for lacrosse led me to this incredible opportunity to help lead what I hope will be one of the largest equipment drives in the country. My goal is to get a stick in anyone’s hand who wants to play. Together with the Pan-American Lacrosse Association, Peru Lacrosse Association and the founder and President of STEPS Lacrosse, Charlie Shoulberg, we will help grow the game globally and hopefully reach the Olympic dream.”

OUR MISSION

PROVIDING LACROSSE EQUIPMENT TO TEAMS AROUND THE WORLD

The mission of Gear the Globe is to provide lacrosse equipment to teams world-wide. 

The GTG collection container will tour the Northeast at various lacrosse tournaments with its final destination arriving at the FIL Women’s World Championship Qualifier game for the Pan-American region on November 14th at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex in Auburndale, Florida.

Eight countries will be taking home the donated equipment including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Haudenosaunee nation.
