“Our goal is to have more active and healthy youth in Richmond, achieved by providing gently-used sporting equipment to area children lacking the resources. This will help make group sports and organized physical activity a more regular occurrence in their lives,” says Kenneth Zaslav, MD, president of Advanced Orthopaedics and a sports medicine specialist.
