Project Play with the Jake Peavy Foundation

The Community Foundation of South Alabama partnered with the Aspen Institute and the Jake Peavy Foundation on “Project Play”, a once-in-a generation opportunity to reimagine sports in America with health and inclusion as core values, to introduce “State of Play: Mobile County” to South Alabama. State of Play united the Aspen Institute and local community leaders in Mobile to work together to conduct a scan and analysis of the landscape of youth sports in Mobile County. The results were both informative and astounding.

Low income children are being left on the sidelines and so are the opportunities to allow these children to play and become productive members of society. Project Play and the State of Play: Mobile County aims to level the playing field for kids. It has the ability to reenergize South Alabama communities to be active and allow every child the opportunity to play. The State of Play report can be found on our website.
