First PackFOUNDATION✦ CARDS FOR KIDS IN NEED
Help bring sports cards to children facing serious illness and kids whose families can’t afford them. Your gift puts a pack of their own within reach.
OUR MISSION
First Pack brings the joy of opening trading cards to children facing serious illness or financial hardship.
For a kid spending weeks in a hospital, a fresh pack offers something to look forward to. Inside could be a favorite player, or a card they’ll carry around until the corners wear out.
We’re building a way for collectors to share that excitement whenever they shop. A donation at checkout helps put packs and boxes into the hands of children whose families are navigating treatment or struggling to afford the extras that make childhood feel like childhood.

When you buy cards, you’ll be able to help a child facing illness or financial hardship open a pack too. Your contribution will help First Pack buy cards for kids who need a bright spot in their day.
You help fund the cards. Contribute toward a pack or box for a child in need, or round up your order.
The packs reach children who need them. We plan to deliver through hospitals and community organizations that serve kids facing illness or hardship.
