Dear John,

When donors like you make play a priority, kids and adults are able to build stronger bonds that have a ripple effect throughout our communities.

Whether it is a high-five after a great game or resolving a disagreement over a rule, play creates shared experiences that encourage trust, care, and connection. These small moments build stronger communities in our schools and beyond.

Below are some of the ways your support makes stronger connections possible through play.
Games provide a natural setting for kids to cooperate, take turns, and support one another. Through play, we learn to navigate relationships and build lasting bonds by achieving shared goals.
Playing together is one of the ways we create strong connections with other people at all ages. On the playground and in the classroom, games bring together students, teachers, and staff - creating moments of connections that strengthen the entire school community.
From coming up with class or team cheers to planning large group games, play gives kids an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves <[link removed]>. This then becomes a shared language that each school, organization, or neighborhood community can adapt and make their own.
Play isn’t just for kids. When adults play together during staff meetings and/or training, or even a quick game at lunch, it fosters collaboration, reduces stress, and builds a more supportive work environment.
Thank you so much for your support! I hope your day includes the same joyful play you help bring to schools and communities.
