Fundraiser Spotlight: The Playground Pack

Play For Purpose is excited to launch The Playground Pack, a community initiative focused on helping kids stay active and enjoy recess.

Our goal is to raise $1,800 to purchase sports balls and playground equipment that will be distributed to elementary schools that serve students in Hardin County. These items will help ensure students have access to equipment that encourages active play, teamwork, and time outdoors during the school day.

If you'd like to support this effort, simply scan the QR code on the flyer to donate through PayPal.

Every contribution helps us move closer to our goal and helps provide equipment that supports healthy, active play for local students.

Thank you for supporting Play For Purpose and helping invest in the well-being of kids in our community.

Play For Purpose

Founded in 2023 by Tom Dilts, Cruz Compton, Kevin Kapanka, and Matthew James

Play For Purpose has grown quickly through events that bring people together while supporting neighbors in need. Through community game nights, partnerships with local sponsors, and annual outreach efforts, we have raised meaningful support for families and projects across Hardin County. Every event reflects our commitment to combining fun, service, and local impact.

Our mission is to raise funds to give back to the community by means of direct charity, or by giving to other local organizations for projects that improve the lives of those in the Hardin County area. We believe “play” is an important part of what it means to be alive. We try to incorporate play in our efforts of fundraising and in our focus of giving back to the community.
