KNR Donates Sports Equipment with Leveling the Playing Field

Community service is at the heart of what we do at KNR, and our Columbus team recently put that commitment into action! Our staff volunteered at Level the PlayingField, spending the day sorting donations and delivering the sports equipment collected during our donation drive.

Watching our team work together to support young athletes who need access to sports gear was a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we come together.

Our firm believes in giving back to the communities we serve, and initiatives like this remind us why community involvement matters so much. Together, we’re helping level the playing field for young athletes across Ohio.
