OUR Purple Playas Foundation is Up and Running!

For our "non-Facebook friends", we are so very excited to announce that our family has started a non-profit: Purple Playas Foundation!  And we have a website!  Wahoo!  Go check it out at:  https://purpleplayasfoundation.org/

The mission of the Purple Playas is to provide support and resources in the area of pediatric chronic illness and to gift smiles to children and their families.
Our 3 Goals:

1. Provide social-emotional resources and information on coping with medical trauma to support families and children impacted by chronic illness. 
2. Provide funding and resources to providers/families of children with chronic illness to bring smiles to children’s faces. For example: funding to camps that support children with chronic/complex illness, food/gas cards to get to treatment, gaming systems for hospitals, durable/medical equipment not funded by another means, family fun days to connect families, etc. 
3. Support fellowships/scholarships in high need pediatric care with a critical shortage, beginning with pediatric rheumatology. 

We also have our first fundraising event scheduled for March 29 and 30, 2019!  We are hosting our very first annual Purple Playas Charity Golf Tournament, preceded by a “Pairings Party”. Our Pairings Party is sure to be loads of fun with our engaging host, yummy appetizers, and auction items. And we will auction-off some local celebrities to the highest bidders to join your golf teams the next day.  Tickets to the Pairings Party are $25 and anyone is welcome.  And if you are interested in attending, golfing, sponsoring, and/or donating for our auction, please contact us on our website and we would be happy to send you the information.

You can also visit us on Facebook or Pinterest.  Just search Purple Playas Foundation and we will pop up with our logo.
