SUMMARY:2025 Kickball Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Lace up your sneakers and join us for some nostalgia over green grass and a big red bouncy ball for our annual kickball tournament. The Playworks Illinois Kickball Tournament offers local businesses and individuals the opportunity to give back to their community while enjoying a few hours of play. \nThe Kickball Tournament will be held on Friday\, May 2\, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Lawrence Athletic Fields. The day will include complimentary shirts for all participants\, kickball\, and opportunities for networking and friendly competition with other area businesses all while serving the kids of Chicago. The winning team will receive plenty of high fives and the coveted Golden Kickball trophy. \nOur hope is that each participant walks off the field feeling like a rock star\, having played a fun game of kickball while making a valuable contribution to an organization working to reducing bullying and improving the health and well-being of children in Chicago’s low-income neighborhoods every day. All event proceeds support Playworks Illinois\, which provides increased opportunities for physical activity and safe\, meaningful play to more than 19\,000 students at over 46 elementary schools and youth organizations. \n  \n \nBecome a sponsor\nLearn more!
