🎉Nothing like a PlayStreets photo dump! Earlier this week, we wrapped up our PlayStreets 2024 season, and the final numbers are in! This summer, 15 amazing community-based organizations, including Pink Lemons, hosted a total of 101 events across different neighborhoods on the South Side of Chicago and engaged over 13,507 children and young adults.
Mission accomplished, as a collaborative effort, we brought together old and new friends—sometimes living on the same block—building community brick by brick, layer by layer. With every event, we brought positive vibes, peace, and a space where children can be children. The smiles, hugs, and “thank yous” from our young people were the best part—reminding us that we are here together, as one community.
A special shoutout to all our volunteers who showed up and showed out! You helped create safe, accessible play spaces where neighbors could connect, and kids could thrive. This is how we ignite change—through community, not charity. A special thank you, to Johnny G. for always being super supportive and helpful. And thank you Phalanx Family Services for including Pink Lemons in this initiative.
