The Erie Sports Center is pleased to announce a major partnership with Logistics Plus to support the Declan Bingham Scholarship Fund and grow our mission to allow kids to play sports regardless of their financial challenges. This partnership will now allow kids to have access to sports year round as we look to expand upon and grow our low-cost and free sports programs, that we launched this summer, into the winter months as well. Erie children will now have the opportunity to play soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball, softball, basketball, and volleyball in the winter in our world-class facilities, encompassing the brand new full-size turf field sports dome and our newly renovated indoor courts.
Erie Sports Center owner Troy Bingham said, “The culture of Logistics Plus and the Berlin Family resonates with our mission. Their “Passion for Excellence” and “Humbly Conquering the World from Erie Pa” mottos match our ambition to create a world-class facility and programs that draw people from around the region and the country. We are so excited to work with them to bring more opportunities to local kids to engage with sport and create opportunities to change their lives.”
Jim Berlin, Founder & CEO of Logistics Plus commented, “When we saw how hard the team was working at the Erie Sports Center to provide opportunities to local kids to be involved in being active in a positive environment, we wanted to be involved. What they have done up there in such a short space of time and the amount of work they have put into giving back to the community already is really motivating. Being a local business with global reach, we understand the enormity of the task and are equally committed to providing opportunities to keep people local. We believe together we can make real and significant changes in many kids’ lives going forward. We hope more businesses support the cause as together we can truly make a difference”.
The new winter programs available to kids from all over Erie will be available for registration in August.

Logistics Plus Turkey is proud to announce that they have planted 10,000 pine bushes in the Bergama, Kinik region of Turkey, creating the ‘Logistics Plus Memorial Forest.’ To learn more about the project, watch the video below or on the Logistics Plus YouTube Channel.
The Aegean Forest Foundation, which was established in 1995; offers projects, practices, and trainings for the creation and sustainability of new forest areas, forest fires, land degradation, desertification, floodplain improvement, climate change, protection of biodiversity, rural development, adaptation of low carbon emission technologies, renewable energy, and energy efficiency working to raise awareness.
Our foundation carries out its forestation activities within the framework of the protocols it signed with the Ministry of Forestry. In 26 years, we have enabled nearly 12 million saplings to become trees and mix with the forest on an area of 75 thousand decares.
The saplings we planted when we were founded, the size of a pencil, have turned into trees today and mixed with the forests. This painting is our pride.
You created the “LOGISTICS PLUS MEMORIAL FOREST” by donating 10 thousand saplings to our İzmir Kırkgeçit afforestation project, where 50 thousand saplings were planted on 35 hectares of land.
Thank you for the support you give to our forests, which is the greatest legacy we can leave to future generations.
Logistics Plus Customs Brokerage Manager Gretchen Blough makes another appearance on Marketplace, hosted by Kai Ryssdal, to discuss China tariffs.
The White House appears to be at an impasse on the future of the Trump-era tariffs on imports from China: Keep them as leverage or lift them to help curb inflation? And while that debate inside the administration continues, the customs brokers caught in the middle are stuck waiting.
“I have a fabulous team, and I had to tell them, ‘Please don’t be so efficient,’” said Blough, who works at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania. “‘Please clear the shipments that are coming from China a little bit closer to the actual arrival time, so if we have to make adjustments, we can with minimal interruption.’”
