The mission of Come Out & Play Foundation is to raise as much money as possible to help Dallas-Fort Worth area children and youth by getting the entire DFW community to Come Out & Play – one fun, well-run athletic event at a time. We want to give metroplex children the love and care they deserve by helping local agencies provide the services that bring hope to each child that walks through their doors.

Therefore, Come Out & Play Foundation is dedicated to having local agencies that serve and care for area children and youth as a beneficiary of each event we host. Each event will have one designated beneficiary, and that beneficiary will receive a donation from the net proceeds of the event to support its program(s).

Beneficiaries will be chosen by the Come Out & Play Foundation Board of Directors. Each potential beneficiary must meet the following criteria:

*   Must be a local, 501(c)(3) organization based in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex

*   Must focus its services on children and youth 18 years of age or younger OR have a specific program that serves this particular demographic

Benefitting agencies will not be restricted on the type of services they provide or whether they provide care to specific needs of the children. No local agency will be eliminated from consideration based on the children they serve. They simply must focus their efforts on children and youth.
