Project Sunshine

The Summer Solstice, aka the loooooongest day of play, is just two days away and we have a lot going on this weekend.

With the support of partners like Mattel, Chelsea Piers Field House Brooklyn, Kendra Scott, The Los Angeles Chess Social, Little Bird Denver, Brooklyn Bowl and Puzzlesnacks we have activities from coast to coast for everyone.

Even if you can't attend any of these special events, you can still join the Play-A-Thon fun. Get out and enjoy the good times doing whatever form of play brings you joy. There are no wrong answers.

You can also help us by posting your play, tagging us and encouraging your friends and followers to donate so we can bring the healing power of play to pediatric patients and their families.

Learn more about the Play-A-Thon and how to support kids in need through the links in our bio.

Threes Brewing is hosting our official Summer Solstice Play-A-Thon after party once our event at Chelsea Piers Brooklyn ends.

We encourage everyone to stop by whether you are attending the event or not and help celebrate the looooooongest day of play with us.

Thank you Threes Brewing for your generous support and for helping more kids experience the healing power of play.

Happy International Day of Play! Today is a reminder that play isn't just about having fun - it's a powerful tool that benefits our physical and mental health. And it is especially needed for children who are facing medical concerns. The ones who need time to just be a kid. The ones who could really use a smile.
