Lace up your sneakers and join us for some nostalgia over green grass and a big red bouncy ball. It\u2019s time for our 8th Annual Kickball Tournament!<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Playworks Illinois Kickball Tournament\u00a0<\/strong>offers local businesses and individuals the opportunity to give back to their community while enjoying a few hours of play.<\/p>\n

The Corporate Kickball event will be held on\u00a0Saturday, June 22, 2019, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0Lawrence Athletic Fields<\/strong>. The day will include complimentary jerseys for all participants, lunch, 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.<\/p>\n

Our hope is that each participant walks off the field feeling like a rockstar, having played a fun game of kickball while making a valuable contribution to an organization working to reduce bullying and improve the health and well-being of children in Chicago\u2019s under-resourced neighborhoods. All event proceeds support Playworks Illinois, which provides increased opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play to more than 30,000 students at more than 30 elementary schools and youth organizations.<\/p>\n
