Playworks is a nationally based non-profit that partners with low income elementary schools to make sure each child experiences safe, healthy and inclusive play everyday. Every year Playworks hosts a Run For Recess 5K to support the 40 Boston Public Schools that we partner with. This event is used as a fundraiser for Playworks but also for our school systems. We will need 50 volunteers for this event to help with event set up, registration, course set up, tables, raffles, water stations, event management, and many other things to make sure this is our most successful Run for Recess event yet!
