Can We Play Inc
At Can We Play Inc, we believe that a healthy lifestyle is the foundation for strong family bonds. 💪❤️ As a non-profit organization, our mission is to teach families how to stay active together, enjoy the outdoors 🌳, and foster togetherness through fun and fitness. 🏀✨ By partnering with other nonprofits and youth organizations, we aim to shine a light on the importance of mental and physical health 🧠💚 through sports and recreational activities.
The journey of Can We Play Inc began unexpectedly. 🌟 In 2019, while attempting to trademark the name "Can I Play," a legal adjustment turned it into "Can We Play", a change that felt serendipitous. ✨ It wasn’t until 2021, amidst reflection during the pandemic, that this name found its true purpose.
The inspiration for this initiative dates back to my personal weight loss journey in 2016. 🏋️♀️ Determined to lose 50 pounds by my 50th birthday 🎂, I started to see health from a new perspective. One day, I noticed an overweight child crossing the street 🚸. That moment hit me deeply. I realized that while I had lived much of my life, this child had so much ahead of them—and I felt compelled to make a difference.
🌍💖
From that moment of compassion came a vision: an annual program that prioritizes the health and wellness of both kids and families. 🌟 In 2022, that vision came to life. Today, I’m proud and excited to bring Can We Play Inc to communities everywhere, with a dream that this program will grow, inspire, and reach families across the globe. 🌎✨
🙌 Join us in making a difference, one family at a time!
