Get in the Game Luncheon 2018
2018-05-30 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | UWM Fireside Lounge, 2200 E Kenwood Blvd., Milwaukee, WI, 53211, United States
The Get in the Game Luncheon is an annual tradition across the Playworks nation. Each year, regions celebrate play and honor play partners. Playworks Wisconsin also recognizes an annual Corporate Partner of the Year as well as a Junior Coach of the Year.
What makes this event truly unique is the celebration of our Junior Coaches. The annual Get in the Game Luncheon happens concurrently with the Playworks annual Junior Coach Conference. This conference is the capstone experience for 500 fourth and fifth-grade students completing the Junior Coach Leadership Program. Attendees at the Get in the Game Luncheon will have the opportunity to interact with our Junior Coaches as well as hear from our 2018 JC of the Year and other community leaders.
Our goal this year is to raise $30,000 through corporate sponsorships that directly support our Junior Coach Leadership Program and in-school programming. Your involvement is critical in helping us achieve our goal. All proceeds from the event directly support Playworks programming in 34 primarily low-income schools in Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Watertown totaling over 15,000 students and their families.

2016 Corporate Kickball
2016-06-24 14:00 - 19:00 | WI
Even though spring is on hold, we have been busy planning for our Fifth Annual Corporate Kickball Tournament, which will be held on Friday, June 24, 2016 from noon to 5 p.m. at LaFollette Park.
We plan to raise more than $50,000 (10% of our fundraising budget) this year to support Playworks programming in our partner schools. This year, Playworks is impacting 10,200 children in 20 schools. For each school that has a full-time Playworks Coach, we must fundraise $30,000. Another way to look at this is $50,000 raised allows us to bring our part-time model called TeamUp to eight schools.
Twelve teams will compete in this year’s tournament, and seven slots have already been filled by these partners: Children’s Hospital, Kohl’s, Baird, Waterstone Bank, Chicago Title Company, One America Retirement Services, and Aurora.
How you can get involved and help us reach our goal:

Ask your company to sponsor a team of employees. The entry fee is $2,500
Make a donation in any amount as a sponsor
Purchase tickets for $50 each and come be a cheerleader
Help promote Playworks and the tournament via your social media
