Season's over. Let's celebrate.

Slip n slide kickball, potluck food, good people. Play for All Foundation is helping host the end-of-season party for the PlayPride league, and it's going to be exactly what it sounds like.

Bring a dish. We've got plates, utensils, and a slip n slide. You bring the food and the energy.

PlayPride isn't a regular kickball league. If you're a player, you're welcome to bring others with you. *Bring someone you'd trust in this space.

Bring:
Something to share (food, drinks, snacks, whatever you make)
Water and sunscreen
Willingness to lose gracefully on a Slip ' N Slide

We’re excited to be part of PLAY Roanoke’s Back to School PLAY-Palooza—a free, family-friendly event designed to celebrate the end of summer and connect families with local resources and recreation opportunities.

Play for All Foundation will be set up with hands-on games, creative arts and crafts, and info about how we support families through microgrants, pop-up programs, and workshops—all designed to make play feel possible again, especially for those who’ve been left out in the past.

We’ll be at Washington Park from 2–6 PM, right alongside other vendors offering after-school resources, recreation programs, and support services. Whether you stop by for a few minutes or stay for the free outdoor movie (Mufasa: The Lion King at 4:30 PM!), we’d love to meet you and share what Play for All is all about.

No sign-ups. No pressure. Just connection, creativity, and play.

We are bringing the family the fun to Wasena Park for the Roanoke Softball Community Social!

We’re showing up with games, arts + crafts, and a whole lot of good energy.
No cost. No sign-ups. Just a chance to play, create, and connect.

Bring your friends, bring the kids—or just stop by and say hi.
We’ll be there, making play possible for everyone.

We had a blast! Check out Event photos here.
