Play Day 2024

Starting in 2021, Play Day has grown from a one-off celebration to an annual event where youth sports organizations from LA and nationwide rally to get outside, get active, and play. In 2023, after advocating and mobilizing youth voices and organizers from across Southern California, June 24 was officially declared "Play Day" by the California State Senate and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, with each governing body recognizing the positive contributions of the LA84 Foundation and the Play Equity Fund to communities. Over 50 organizations from California to Massachusetts participated in Play Day 2023, while the LA84 Foundation and Play Equity Fund hosted over 300 youth from local youth organizations at the flagship Play Day event at Soboroff Field in Exposition Park.

The LA84 Foundation and the Play Equity Fund host Play Day to promote the importance of sports, play, and movement for all kids and raise awareness about the "play equity gap," the gap between kids who have access to youth sports and play and those who do not. Play Day is a day when all kids, regardless of background, have the opportunity to get active and play with their friends and peers.

To celebrate the LA84 Foundation's 40 years of impact and dedication to uplifting sports, play, and movement for all kids, we are making Play Day 2024 our biggest yet! Hosted at the LA84 Foundation HQ in Historic West Adams and featuring dozens of youth sports organizations and activations from LA's pro sprots teams, join us for a block party, concert, and a celebration of sports and play!
