What’s an Event Partner?
An Event Partner contributes $2,500 to bring two experiences to a school or community site: a Kickoff during school hours and a Family Wellness Event after school. Together they introduce anchored goals, simple Play and Pause activities, and family resources so students get active, connect, and return to class calmer and more focused.
Partners are highlighted at events, on our website, and across communications as visible champions for play and wellness.

Two Anchored Soccer Goals, Goal Cards, and an Equipment Kit
Each site will receive two anchored soccer goals (with sizes selected in collaboration with our nonprofit team), a set of laminated Goal Cards for teachers to lead Play & Pause activities, and an equipment kit that includes soccer balls, pinnies, and cones.
