The First Assist is a PWCS initiative that helps ensure every student has access to sports by collecting and redistributing donated athletic equipment to those in need.
The First Assist is a program of PWCS Student Activities Management that collects new and gently used athletic equipment and redistributes it to students, helping remove financial barriers and expand access to sports opportunities throughout Prince William County.
Whether you're clearing out equipment your family no longer uses or looking for a meaningful way to support student-athletes, your donation can make a lasting impact.
