Call a local trophy shop and see if they have some suggestions.

Schools. Special Olympics. Clubs like Cubs or Boys and Girls clubs. Organizations that run community activity days with games and contests for kids. Goodwill and Salvation Army Thrift Stores. You might also try Seniors Homes, as they often do Winter Festivals and such like events, and so they might like to give out a trophy too! Worth a phone call, anyway.

Yes, please call your local schools and ask them. I would really try to donate them to your local special olympic program. Good luck.

Contact local schools as well. Sometimes they use them as prizes for things. We used ours for curling bonspiel prizes.

Often you can purchase new tops for the trophies for a small charge that can change a bowling trophy into a sunflower seed spitting contest trophy. Much less expensive to refurbish than to purchase new ones. Old trophies for a particular sport can merely have the plaques removed or changed to be useable again - eg bowling for a junior bowling league, for example.

I have several old trophies I'd like to donate somewhere. Is there anyone in the Allentown, PA area that would take them?

Check with the Special Olympics. They always need trophies and can adapt them to the participants. Some civic club should know how to reach them if you can't find them on the web. (01/29/2009)

Whatever trophies you don't send Jan's way, I'd bet your local HS theater dept. or community theater would appreciate them. Trophies of various types and sizes make great theater props! (01/29/2009)

I would check with some of the youth sports clubs or Boys/Girls clubs. You can easily remove the plaque and then they can put a new one over the spot. Or maybe even check with the athletic department in your local high school or middle school. (01/20/2010)
