After several rainy weeks and quite a few rescheduled, the 2018 Corporate Kickball Tournament was held on June 1st, 2018 to support Playworks Maryland. Firaxis team members met at Joseph E. Lee Park under the sweltering sun for a day of kickball and team building on the muddy fields, playing against employees of other local businesses.

Though we didn’t place in the tournament, it was a great – albeit sweaty – day outdoors supporting a good cause. Playworks Maryland provided great tunes and plenty of drinks, and everybody was very excited when the Kooper’s Chowhound Burger Wagon pulled up for lunch.

Proceeds from the tournament supported Playworks Maryland’s After School League program, which provides over 400 Baltimore city fourth- and fifth-graders access to after-school sports, like girls’ basketball, co-ed tennis, and co-ed volleyball.

Playworks is the leading national nonprofit leveraging the power of play to transform children’s social and emotional health. Playworks currently serves more than 1,300 schools in 23 U.S. cities, and reaches more than 700,000 students directly and through professional training services.
