Help Me Play provides financial assistance so kids in our community can participate in Rockford Park District programs, camps, and activities. These experiences not only keep kids active, but help reduce stress, learn teamwork, develop discipline, and support healthy minds. To sustain this impact, we are committed to raising $100,000 annually to support youth programming and ensure every child has access to these critical opportunities.

For nearly 6,000 children in our community, Help Me Play represents the opportunity to get off the sidelines and onto the field, into a program, or onto a playground where they feel included and supported.
