Help build what comes next.
The Project PLAY is developing its first kit, first community fundraiser, future research, and additional creative resources. There are several ways students, families, professionals, and organizations may contribute.
Healthcare Professionals
Provide general feedback about child experience, accessibility, activity structure, safety, and age appropriateness.
Students
Support outreach, research organization, event planning, design, writing, or future volunteer projects.
Families
Share general feedback about what makes children's activities engaging, understandable, adaptable, or enjoyable.
Artists and Designers
Contribute illustration, visual design, activity layout, packaging ideas, or storytelling.
Schools and Clubs
Explore volunteer projects, awareness campaigns, community events, or service opportunities.
Pickleball Players and Event Volunteers
Express interest in participating in or supporting the planned tournament.
Businesses and Organizations
Discuss possible sponsorships, donated materials, printing support, event assistance, or future partnerships.
Reaching out does not imply that formal positions, partnerships, event participation, or volunteer hours are guaranteed.
Structured volunteer opportunities.
Cards With Purpose
Create thoughtful handmade cards for children in pediatric healthcare settings. Participants may submit an unlimited number of cards; each eligible, approved card represents 15 minutes of documented service. The Project PLAY may verify eligible service or provide documentation, while each school or organization independently decides whether to accept volunteer hours.
Teen Ambassador/Leader Program
For teens who want to take a leadership role, make a community impact, and help bring joy to children in pediatric healthcare settings. Ambassadors may organize one card-making event or a community fundraiser supporting Project PLAY purposeful-play kits, help deliver 50+ cards with a Project PLAY member, and may later help assemble kits if interested. We also welcome applicants with different ideas for helping the team.
