Why Give?
Youth Sports for All
We launched Youth Sports For All in spring 2021, and it has quickly become a vital community program, making after-school sports and summer camps accessible to dozens of kids each season. Through collaboration with our partner sports organizations and support from the Capitol Hill Community Foundation, DC Breeze, DC Fray, District Sports, and individual donors, we ensure the program remains free for all participants. When needed, we also provide individual sports equipment, removing barriers so every child can play.
Disc Golf
In December 2020, we partnered with local ANCs and civic organizations to survey the community on desired new facilities. With over 200 responses, the top request was for frisbee/disc golf. We turned that feedback into action by installing a pop-up six-hole course next to The Fields. This small but exciting addition reflects our commitment to using community input to enhance public green spaces.
Playing it Safe
Go Play advocated for the safe reopening of The Fields during the pandemic, providing a vital outdoor space for the community before indoor facilities were available. By fall 2021, groups were using the fields for over 170 hours per week. The Celebration Pavilion became a hub for safely hosting graduation parties, fitness classes, concerts, church services, a health and wellness fair, a homecoming dance, and more.
