Support Play!

At The Strong, we believe that play is as essential as the air we breathe. Play boosts mental and physical health for people of all ages and is proven to make children and adults smarter, happier, and healthier. The Strong works to make playful learning available to millions of children and families in our community and beyond—and your support makes it all possible.
