What is Project Sunshine's Summer Solstice Celebration All About
In a word...PLAY!
In 40 words...it's us taking the longest day of sunshine each year (15 hours!) as an opportunity to showcase how important our mission is by encouraging everyone to engage in fun activities and spread the word about the healing power of play.
By registering, you will pledge to engage in play activities (whatever that means to you!) starting on June 1 and going until Summer Solstice arrives on June 21 (and beyond). Once you have registered, you can get support for your efforts from friends and family through our handy fundraising platform. That's it!
I'm ready! What do I do next?
Post Your Play.
Project Sunshine wants you to spread the word on why play is so important. Crafting gone wild, boardgame domination, trick shot awesomeness help us have fun and burn off stress. Tag us @projectsunshine and use the #playforprojectsunshine to raise awareness.
Play and FUNdraise.
Ask your friends and family to support your PLAY. Shoot hoops, play boardgames, have a slime party or dance-off in the living room - just let them know you are playing for a cause and Project Sunshine will provide a step-by-step guide to get you started.
Rally Your People to Play.
Come play with us!
From Los Angeles to New York City, we have special events and opportunites during the month of June for you and your family to enjoy.
