Our mission is to build healthy, active, and connected communities using recess, organized sports, and playful learning. Our Restore Recess programming helps our staff build pop-up play installations in schools and neighborhoods lacking safe spaces to play.

There are several reasons why people should donate to organizations that promote play and recreation. First, play and recreation are essential for physical and mental health. Engaging in leisure activities can help reduce stress, improve cardiovascular health, and increase overall happiness. Second, play and recreation can foster social connections and build community. Participating in recreational activities can provide an opportunity to meet new people and form lasting friendships. Finally, play and recreation can contribute to the overall quality of life. Access to recreational opportunities can improve an individual's sense of well-being and increase their satisfaction with life. By supporting organizations that promote play and recreation, individuals can help ensure that others can experience the physical, mental, social, and emotional benefits of leisure activities.

Please make a donation that's significant to you and help us build a world where everyone has full access to the benefits of recess, the joy of playful learning, and the transformational power of sport.
