Play Every Day
We’re on a mission to keep kids active throughout the school day. Why? Because health is wealth. It’s proven that playing – whether that’s organized sports, physical education class, or recess – has a positive impact on students’ well-being and ability to focus and keep minds open for learning. And today, that’s needed more than ever, with mental health issues on the rise and students up against factors out of their control.
Your gift to Play Every Day will be used to purchase equipment - soccer balls, basketballs, jump ropes, scooters used at recess and in Phy. Ed. classes, cover student fees, and support programs directly related to physical activity that benefits students throughout Madison Metropolitan School District. Let’s foster their future together.
Wesley Matthews, Madison Memorial High '05 graduate and NBA player, has made a $50,000 gift to kickstart this campaign, and will make an additional $50,000 matching gift. Your gift will help secure this matching gift and enhance access to active lifestyles.
