THANK YOU!

On April 11, 2019, Playworks Wisconsin hosted 100 guests and community leaders for our 3rd annual Get in the Game Luncheon. This year’s honorees included The Milwaukee Bucks and Johnson Controls in recognition for their investment in Browning Elementary School and the Silver Spring Neighborhood Center. They received the 2019 Game Changer Award. The project also received the 2019 MANDI Award.

A special recognition was awarded to Edwin from Bethesda Elementary School in Waukesha by his principal, Mr. Martin. Edwin received the Junior Coach of the Year medal for his transformation as a 4th grade leader in his school.
