Washington, D.C. – Today, Monumental Sports & Entertainment marked its partnership with the Embassy of The State of Qatar with a $25,000 donation from the Qataris to Leveling the Playing Field. The locally based nonprofit gives more children the opportunity to enjoy the mental and physical benefits of youth sports participation through the donation of used and excess sporting equipment to programs and schools, primarily serving low-income communities.

This exciting new partnership is announced on Qatar National Sports Day, celebrated annually on the second Tuesday in February to promote a healthy lifestyle in Qatar; and punctuates both organizations’ belief that sports have the power to bring people together.
