Let’s make more time to play

Our Mission

Play For A Cause Detroit is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming spaces and enriching lives through play. We began by revitalizing Detroit’s parks—restoring courts, fields, and creating welcoming environments like the Belle Isle Athletic Complex. Today, we’ve expanded our mission to provide Detroit youth with meaningful opportunities to engage in sports, arts, music, and STEAM programming with the DREAM Mobile. Whether at parks, schools, camps, or after-school programs, we bring accessible and inspiring play experiences to communities across the city.

Building Community
Through Sports & Movement

Play for a Cause Detroit turns sports into a force for good. We host community-driven games and tournaments that raise funds and awareness for local nonprofits tackling real issues—from youth development to education, food access, and more.

When you support us, you’re not just backing an event—you’re investing in Detroit’s future.

Play with purpose. Give where it counts.
