Who We Are
Play for All Foundation was founded in 2025 in response to a clear gap: recreation in the Roanoke Valley is not equally accessible. Cost, transportation, physical barriers, and programming gaps keep people from participating. We exist to close those gaps, working alongside the communities and organizations already doing the work.
