Update from the Executive Director

Dear Valued Playworks Colorado Donors,

 I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support this year. Your generosity has been transformative, and I want to express my heartfelt thanks for the many ways you’ve championed Playworks.

Your presence at our events, your donations, and your efforts to engage friends, family, and colleagues have been instrumental in spreading the word about our vital work. You understand that when children play, we all win. By supporting kids at play today, you’ve invested in a healthy future for all of us.

Through your partnership, we’re addressing a critical need. Children are still struggling with emotional regulation and social-emotional skills, especially in the wake of increased isolation. You recognize that play is not just about fun and games—it’s where children first learn to relate to others, building communication and collaboration skills that last a lifetime.

Your support helps us create safe, supportive spaces for play, particularly for children who might otherwise lack access. You understand that equitable access to play is crucial for building inclusive communities and fostering better social and emotional health for all.

Every recess game organized, every conflict resolved peacefully, and every smile on a child’s face is a direct result of your generosity. You’re not just donors; you’re partners in creating a brighter, more playful future for Colorado’s youth.

As we look ahead, we’re filled with hope and determination. With supporters like you by our side, we’re confident in our ability to continue making a positive impact. You understand that what happens on the playground today will strengthen our communities tomorrow.

Thank you for believing in the power of play and for your commitment to nurturing the next generation. Your support is truly an investment in our shared prosperity and the future of our communities.

With deepest gratitude,

Andrea Woolley
Executive Director
Playworks Colorado
