Impact Report
Update from the Executive Director
During the 2023-2024 school year, we had the honor of supporting students by partnering with schools and community based organizations in our community. We spent another school year bringing their exuberant energy to play alongside students, fostering environments where children feel supported, active, and connected.
Our journey is far from finished. As we continue towards our goal of ensuring every kid in America plays every day, we are developing innovative new ways to bring play to new communities. We’re expanding our digital learning and widening our reach with community-based organizations, which will allow us to make our practices accessible to even more adults who uplift kids.
We couldn’t have made this type of impact without you!

“Now during recess, boys are not the only ones anymore playing. The girls have been playing football and other games learned during class game time! Since I know the game too, I can engage, cheer them on and be part of it when on duty!”
