Activating Play Day 2026!
Elevating Sports, Play, and Movement for All Kids!
Play Day is a nationally recognized and celebrated event in June, with organizations from across the country joining to uplift the lifelong benefits of sport, play, and movement for all kids. Play Day launched in Los Angeles and has spread nationwide to encourage the essential value of playing together.
Play Day shows how the joy of sport inspires communities to build new connections. The LA84 Foundation and the Play Equity Fund join our partners each year for this exciting moment to support greater access to equitable experiences in youth sports and play programs.
