Playing 4 Hope

Donations and sponsorships help bring pediatric patients, like Lucy, hope in the middle of a difficult, scary time. Athletes from the Mizzou Gymnastics team were able to lift Lucy's spirits and share precious moments like these because of supporters like you.

Everyday children in our community are facing adversity - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Playing 4 Hope is partnering with University of Missouri athletes to provide an outlet of hope for these children.

In our hospitals we are helping children and their families get through difficult times by providing gifts, meals, and memorable experiences. In our grade schools we are providing children with essentials such as winter clothing, shoes, backpacks and are discussing mental health awareness during school sponsored events, including both where and how to get help.

Your $50 dollar donation could provide:
- In our hospitals: an uplifting gift during a hospital stay, 2 tickets to a sporting event after discharge, or 10 meals during a hospital stay (~3 families)
- In our grade schools: 5 winter jackets or hoodies, 2 pairs of shoes or backpacks, or 25 wristbands symbolizing togetherness.

It’s time to meet our newest Playing 4 Hope friend, Alijah!

Alijah was thrilled to meet Mizzou Football players Jamal Roberts, Ben Straatmann, and Curtis Peagler. This visit was a little different in that it was held in the Healing Garden, where Alijah could show off his throwing skills with the players! He even practiced last night for over an hour with his care team! The visit was filled lots of with spirals, kicks, and snaps.🏈 The players were sure that Alijah would be a natural addition to the team. Alijah’s favorite sport is football, and when he grows up he wants to be a police officer or football player. He loved getting to talk to the players about his passion for cutting wood with his dad and his love for burritos!

This Saturday when Mizzou takes on the K-State Wildcats, these players will be wearing their P4H wristbands and dedicating their game to Alijah! M-I-Z! 🐯
