Thanks to our Hometown Hero Sponsor:

Playworks Mission: To improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play.

We believe in the power of play to bring the best out of every kid. We create a place on the playground for every kid. A place where they can belong, have fun, and be part of the game. Our specialty is recess because it is the single best opportunity to give every kid the chance to play every day.

Playworks is a national nonprofit organization that transforms schools by providing play and physical activity at recess and throughout the school day. Playworks restores valuable teaching time, reduces bullying, increases physical activity and improves the school and learning environment. Playworks will serve 900 elementary schools across the U.S., reaching 425,000 students. In the Pacific Northwest, Playworks partners with approximately 100 schools serving 40,000 kids through training and direct service.
