Play 4 ALL: Aligning Resources, Inspiring Play, Impacting Communities

Play 4 ALL partners with communities to align missions and mobilize resources for the development of new or existing play and fitness spaces. Cunningham Recreation believes that every community deserves the opportunity to bring a new or revitalized play area to its neighborhood, and we understand that barriers often exist between your desire to help your community and the resources available. In partnership with Play 4 All, we can help you reach your goal by assessing and positioning your project to undergo a successful community campaign that secures community support and funding.

The Play 4 ALL team can help you:

Identify potential funders/partners from local, regional and national sources
Build awareness about your project & create a fund development plan
Strengthen your case for play in order to engage more investors
Secure volunteers, project spokespeople and committee members
Implement cause marketing strategies & coach your team on milestone events

Attaining the necessary resources yield play opportunities that greatly impact the health and wellness of a community. Cunningham Recreation is honored to help.
