“Empowering Youth Through Sports, Play, and Life Skills Development”

Who we are:

First Play Foundation was formed with the purpose of empowering underprivileged youth by providing access to athletic equipment, promoting participation in local sports associations, and fostering essential life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and leadership. Additionally, we aim to bring joy to families in need by providing Christmas and holiday gifts through partnerships with local organizations, ensuring all children experience the spirit of the season.

Our Vision: To create a world where every child, regardless of their background, has access to the opportunities, resources, and support they need to thrive through play, fostering teamwork, resilience, and personal growth.

First Play Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization, overseen by our staff and Board of Directors.
