Partners and Sponsors

Sponsors

The Children at Play Network was established and continues its work regionally through the generous support of foundations, corporations and community businesses. CAPN continues to seek sponsorships to expand the reach and depth of network to provide ever greater opportunities for children to connect to nature through free play to support their healthy development.

PNC Bank, through Grow Up Great, provided seed funding support and the Children at Play Initiative was born. With additional and continued assistance that effort has grown into the Children at Play Network, which through a web of relationships extends regionally to support children’s play opportunities.

The Brown-Forman Corporation joined CAPN as a sponsor in the development of Seeds for Urban Play, an effort to address issues of equity and access to safe outdoor free play through relationships with community-based organizations. Through these relationships, CAPN supports efforts determined and driven by communities to expand outdoor free play opportunities using a variety of strategies.
