Our Philadelphia celebration brought the purpose of PLAE into view through the children, educators and supporters who joined us. Continued support will help us build on that beginning.

A gift to the Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation USA supports our commitment to young people and the opportunities we are developing through the Player Academy of Excellence.

If the moments from PLAE for the Future inspired you, we invite you to be part of what comes next. Give through the link in our bio,

Happy 91st birthday, Mr. Player! 🖤 Your love for children is at the heart of everything we do. You believe so deeply in their potential, care about their dreams and continue to give your time and energy to helping them find their way.

Thank you for carrying Vivienne’s love forward with such tenderness and purpose, and for reminding us that caring begins with showing up.

With all our love, happy birthday from your Gary & Vivienne Player Foundation family 💛

“I have value. I have purpose. I can make a difference.”

These words from the PLAE Promise express what we want every young person to believe about themselves. The Promise also gives that belief a daily direction:

I participate with purpose.
I learn with curiosity.
I achieve through effort.
I excel by giving my best.

As we look back on our Philadelphia ribbon cutting and forward to the work ahead, we are reminded of the responsibility we share to help children put those words into practice.

The first PLAE ribbon cutting brought together people with different roles in a child’s future: school staff, families, donors and community supporters.

PLAE’s work depends on those relationships. We want children to know there are people ready to listen, encourage their efforts and help them explore what comes next.

Thank you to everyone who spent the weekend with us. The connections made in Philadelphia are an important part of the work ahead.

Our Bunker Clinic with Mr. Player gave our guests memories of a lifetime with tips from the game’s greatest sand player.

This was special opportunity to share strategy while also supporting a cause close to his heart, and we loved seeing those conversations and friendships unfold throughout the day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped turn a memorable round into support for PLAE!

A show of special appreciation to the Union League Liberty Hill for being the perfect host! Just look at this gorgeous golf course!

To our donors, sponsors, volunteers, school and community partners, and event hosts: thank you. Your time, generosity and belief in young people helped make the Philadelphia launch celebration and PLAE for the Future weekend possible. Every contribution helps build the relationships and resources needed to carry this work forward. We are grateful to have you alongside the Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation USA.

Participate. Learn. Achieve. Excel. PLAE’s year-round model connects literacy and academic support with sport, wellness, leadership, mentorship and family engagement. Its six core values guide the approach: discipline, accountability, courage, service, excellence and belonging. Our goal is to help young people develop skills and habits they can carry into school, relationships and their future. Swipe to see how those opportunities fit together.

Our work begins with listening. Amanda Player-Hall, President and Executive Director of the Foundation and PLAE Board Chair, and Christian Holland, PLAE’s founding Executive Director, are working with Philadelphia families, educators and community partners to shape the academy’s next steps. Their focus is on building trusted relationships and helping young people feel supported, challenged and included.

Last weekend was three days of connection, generosity and a shared commitment to young people. From Friday’s PLAE ribbon cutting in Philadelphia to the weekend’s gala and charity golf at Union League Liberty Hill, we are grateful to everyone who helped make this chapter possible. Your support is helping establish a foundation for sustained learning, mentorship and wellness opportunities through the Player Academy of Excellence. Thank you for being part of it.
