Waterfront Park July 3rd-  FREE Movie Night – The Sandlot

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the film, The Play Forever Project is launching the “30 for the 30th” national fundraising campaign. This initiative aims to impact 30 communities nationwide through a combination of sports equipment, education, healthy food access, scholarship, gender equity programs, and restoration projects wherever we can have the most impact.

As part of 30 for the 30th, Play Forever will host a series of fundraisers nationwide with cast members from The Sandlot. The first series of events will take place over the 4th of July weekend in Louisville, KY, with stops in San Diego, CA, Cincinnati, OH, Salt Lake City, UT, Pittsburgh, PA, Phoenix, AZ; and more to be announced.
