Companies like yours have been making a difference in the lives of San Diego youth and families by participating in Play 4 SAY.

For 12 years, Play 4 SAY has been SAY San Diego's premier FUNdraising event, bringing together community leaders, businesses, and individuals for a day of outdoor fun and friendly competition, all for a great cause. This year, you can help us reach our goal of raising $200,000 to provide a lifeline to our city's most vulnerable.

PLAY 4 SAY

We are very excited to be back out on the lawn this year! Your participation will provide critical support to ensure that local kids, families, and youth, especially the most vulnerable, have every possible opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential!

All proceeds benefit the lives of the 30,000 San Diegans we reach every year! Let's strengthen our community one game at a time!

What is Play 4 SAY?

Play 4 SAY brings together your team(s) of three in a friendly and competitive tournament of bocce ball, ladder golf, cornhole, and GIANT Jenga against other donor teams until one team wins it all! Enjoy team-building games, local complimentary refreshments and food, networking with colleagues and community partners, premium prize packages, and bragging rights for your company all while supporting a great cause. All proceeds go directly to support underserved and underresourced youth and families in the city we all love.

*Due to required permitting, this event is 21+ adults only, smoke/vape free and service pets only allowed.

WHO WORE IT BEST?

We're adding a fun twist – get creative and dress up, or come in matching outfits with your teammates! Show off your team spirit and add to the festive atmosphere.
