Gear up for sports and activities at the SportSwap at Ackerman SFC on Sunday, July 13, 2025, from 1-2:30 pm. We’re teaming up with Go Green Glen Ellyn to give sports gear a second life. If you have any gently used sports equipment that you’d like to trade in, you can drop it off at Ackerman SFC from July 7-11. You’ll receive a voucher to use at the swap. Alternatively, you can also choose to purchase equipment using cash or credit. You are also welcome to simply donate equipment as long as it is on the list of accepted items and in good condition.
