New Playmaker Webpages

Everyone at KaBOOM! is very excited to announce the all-new, super glossy, refreshed, revamped and re-launched KaBOOM! Playmaker webpages!

Wait, what’s that? You are not a Playmaker?!

Luckily for you, not only can you learn more about the Playmaker Network and the KaBOOM! National Campaign for Play, but you can also join!

Start by visiting www.kaboom.org/playmaker and learn why it’s so important for us to work together to bring play back into the lives of children. Read the Playmaker Pledge and then make the commitment to support play— become a Playmaker now!

Once you have joined, its time to take action. Take the Local Action and speak out for play or take the National Action and sign up for a helpful webinar.

I could list all of the new features, but that would only slow you down from all the work you will soon be doing in support of play. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just toyed with the idea of building your own playground or if you have successfully completed a playspace build, you are already a Playmaker— now its time to take the pledge and sign-up.

Learn more, take the pledge, take action—Become a Playmaker!
