Walking the Walk

Gratitude. That’s what we feel for the many supporters that have helped Playworks reach into underserved communities and bring play and physical activity to the local schools. We’ve been so fortunate to have so many supporters, individuals who really care, make it possible for children to have the opportunity to play every day. 
 
Earlier this month, at least 39,271 members of 24 Hour Fitness clubs stepped, ran, pumped and jumped in to raise more than $77,000 to support Playworks during a special three week “Help Save Play” promotion at the clubs. That's right, 39,271 individuals participated so that thousands of children would be able to play at school. This level of playing it forward and participation is overwhelming, and shows that others share our commitment. 
 
As we continue to walk the walk and spread the word about the importance of play, it is heartening to see the tens of thousands taking a step with us. We thank you. And we give you a big high five. Now go out and play!
