2026 Awards Dinner & Fundraiser
Join us on December 3rd from 5 to 11 PM for an evening built for impact — a silent auction stacked with once-in-a-lifetime sports and travel experiences, a room full of people who believe a play field can change a community, and the kind of night that marks not just a celebration, but a commitment. Because this isn’t just an awards dinner or fundraising event. It’s the first chapter of something built to last.
Be there for the inaugural Playing for Keeps Awards Dinner & Fundraiser — where the game starts, and the real win is what we build for the kids who come after us.
Upcoming Events, Field Installations & Coalition Dinners
