Our Mission
Can Play brings adapted and no cost recreational programs to our communities by removing barriers to play.

Our Focus

Inclusion: We ensure that everyone has access to play.
Community: We bring people and communities together to play as one.
Play: We use sports and recreation programs to inspire and empower people to achieve their goals on and off the field.

Can Play provides access to sports and recreation programming for thousands of underserved youth in central Iowa with financial, physical, cognitive, emotional, or chronic health care barriers to play. Our mission empowers us to decrease the participation gap in sports and recreation that affects underprivileged youth not just physically, but also on a social, mental and developmental level. We serve approximately 15,000 participants a year through our Opportunity, Courage, H.E.R.S., licensing and other community programs.
