Playworks Twin Cities 1st Annual Kickball Event

  1. Updates

We had our 1st Annual Kickball Event at Dunning Field in Saint Paul. Five teams and more than 70 participants made the event a huge success. Teams were sponsored by Tunheim Partners, CarVal Investors, Students Today Leaders Forever, The Little Gym, and a Teacher’s Team. We had a fun filled day of kickball, high fives, team cheers and good food. At the awards ceremony Students Today Leaders Forever were awarded first place and took home the Playworks Twin Cities Trophy. Players from every team celebrated at a special happy hour hosted by O'Gara's.

Playworks is grateful to all the team sponsors and O'Gara's for making our first Annual Kickball a victory for Twin Cities school children – the funds we raises will support our work in the coming year!  We look forward to building on the tournament next year and inviting even more teams to participate!
