Gear up for sports and activities at the SportSwap at Ackerman SFC on Sunday, July 19, 2026, from 1-2 pm. We’re teaming up with Go Green Glen Ellyn to give sports equipment a second life. If you have gently used sports equipment you’d like to trade, drop it off at Ackerman SFC from July 13-17 to receive a voucher you can use at the swap. You can also purchase equipment at the event using cash or credit. If you’d simply like to donate equipment, you’re welcome to do so, as long as it’s on the list of accepted items and in good condition. View SportSwap event details and the list of accepted items »
