Our Boston Marathon Team is going the distance for The Play Ball Foundation!

As we count down to Marathon Monday on April 21st, we’re celebrating the incredible dedication of our fifteen Play Ball Boston Marathon team members! These runners have not only been putting in countless miles—through the winter cold, early mornings, and tough training sessions—but they’ve also been working tirelessly to raise funds in support of The Play Ball Foundation’s mission. Every dollar they raise helps us bring the joy of sports to over 5,000 middle schoolers throughout Massachusetts, giving kids access and opportunity to play the sports they love.

Now, they need your support! Join us in cheering them on this Marathon Monday—whether it’s along the course, at the finish line, or by contributing to their fundraising efforts. Let’s show them the same energy and passion they’ve shown throughout their journey! Donate today and help them cross both their fundraising and finish line goals! 🏅💙 Donation link in bio!

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his unwavering commitment to equality, opportunity, and unity. His dream of a more just and inclusive society inspires us to continue our mission of bringing access and opportunity to middle schoolers through sports.

At Play Ball Foundation, we believe that every child deserves the chance to play, grow, and dream—regardless of their background. Together, let’s work towards a future where all young athletes have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
