We need support to be here for generations to come.
Let’s Play together to recognize this impact on the past generation and raise critical funds to support the next.

Are you ready to get in the game?
Corporate Kickball is an employee engagement fundraiser that gets your team out of the office and onto the kickball field for an afternoon of team building and fun. Participating teams spend an exciting afternoon seeking out the Regional Championship Trophy while simultaneously helping to raise funds that support healthy, engaging, and developmental play in our region’s schools.
By participating in our Corporate Kickball Tournament, your company will:

Increase employee engagement: Corporate Kickball offers a team-building opportunity outside the office that’s inviting, collaborative, and fun!
Raise visibility: Teams and sponsors are recognized on the Playworks website, annual report, newsletter, and other collateral.
Support the local community: The money raised from Corporate Kickball goes right back to Playworks to support our efforts to bring safe and welcoming play to local public schools for school year 2026-2027.

Event details
Corporate Kickball will take place on Friday, June 12 from 11 am – 5 pm at Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Softball Fields in Beaverton, Oregon.
