Scotts Offers Sweepstakes for Philly-Area Organizations

As the cost of youth sports continues to rise, many families are finding it harder to afford the activities their kids are passionate about. Beyond that, ensuring that families have safe, natural spaces to play is just as important. This is where Scotts, a long-standing leader in the lawn care industry, is making a difference with its “Keep It Real” sweepstakes.

The Importance of Natural Turf for Safe Play

For young athletes, having a safe environment to play is key to both their enjoyment and well-being. Natural turf fields offer a softer, safer playing surface compared to artificial turf, reducing the risk of injury from falls or hard impacts. Scotts recognizes this need and has committed to providing local communities with the tools to maintain these natural grass fields, helping kids play safely while also staying connected to green spaces.

Supporting Youth Sports with Landon Dickerson

In an exciting local initiative, Scotts has partnered with Philadelphia Eagles center and lawn enthusiast Landon Dickerson to launch the “Keep It Real” sweepstakes. This effort aims to encourage local communities in the Philadelphia area to maintain their sports fields with natural turfgrass, promoting safer play for all.

Through the sweepstakes, local organizations have the opportunity to win products from Scotts for a natural grass field makeover. Chestnut Hill, Fairmount, West Philly, Parkwood, we're looking at you. This not only supports youth sports programs in Philadelphia but also strengthens community bonds, all while ensuring safer spaces for kids to enjoy the sports they love.

The Broader Impact of Scotts' Commitment

While this initiative focuses on Philadelphia, Scotts' commitment to providing safe playing fields goes beyond just one city. The company has partnered with Every Kid Sports, a national nonprofit that helps income-restricted families by funding youth sports registration fees. Through this partnership, Scotts has already supported over 400 young athletes and aims to help even more by 2026.

In addition to the grants they’ve provided to communities like Philadelphia, Scotts is working to expand its reach to other areas across the U.S., including cities like Columbus and Phoenix. The goal? To make youth sports more accessible while ensuring kids everywhere have access to safer, natural fields.

Enter the "Keep It Real" Sweepstakes

Philadelphia-area communities now have the chance to benefit directly from this initiative. The initiative runs through September 30, local organizations can enter the “Keep It Real” sweepstakes for a chance to win products from Scotts to enhance their natural turf fields. Whether it’s a soccer field, baseball diamond, or community park, Scotts is ready to help bring natural grass back to youth sports.
