Play It Forward
Your generosity helps provide local families with financial assistance for exercise, recreation, and sports programs in Raleigh.
Everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy Raleigh's rich offerings of exercise, recreation, and athletic programs. For many in our community, however, hardship or limited financial resources create barriers that limit or prevent their participation. You can help a child play the sport they have dreamed of, or help a senior stay connected to their neighbors with a regular exercise class.
We know that exercise, play, and sports keep our community connected and healthy, keep seniors fit, and help children grow into stronger and healthier adults. Play it Forward is a financial assistance program sponsored by the City of Oaks Foundation in partnership with the Raleigh Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources, to provide area residents with the resources they need to utilize the City’s incredible recreation spaces.
Do you or someone you know need financial assistance to attend a Raleigh summer camp or program?

Similar to the City of Oaks Foundation's successful Give Play program, Play it Forward not only helps introduce children to indoor and outdoor sports that might require equipment they could not afford, but expands that aid to families and seniors seeking connection to play, exercise and activity.
Please help us expand the number of families we can serve by making a charitable donation today to support the Play it Forward program. We need your support to make positive and meaningful impact right here in our local community. Thank you for your donation!
