Play Hays

Goal: $10,000.00

Specific Need

Play Hays is working to create a safe, engaging, and accessible indoor play space for children from infancy through elementary age — and we need your help to make it a reality. Funds raised through Give Fest will support critical facility renovations, including the creation of a mother’s room, flexible classroom space for birthday parties, and areas for special programs and early learning activities.

These improvements will ensure that Play Hays can welcome families year-round, provide age-appropriate learning experiences, and offer safe, comfortable spaces for parents and caregivers. Your gift will directly help complete these essential spaces, giving children in Hays a place to imagine, explore, and grow.

Mission

The Play Hays Foundation inspires imagination, creativity, and connection for young children and their families by providing safe, engaging, and inclusive indoor play experiences that support early learning, development, and community building.

Profile

The Play Hays Foundation was created to provide children and families in the Hays community with a welcoming, indoor environment where imagination, learning, and connection can thrive. Focused on infants through elementary-age children, the foundation is currently developing a vibrant play space and programs that will encourage creativity, early childhood development, and social engagement.

Once complete, the facility will feature thoughtfully designed interactive zones—such as pretend farms, schools, and restaurants—where children can explore, problem-solve, and learn through play. The foundation is also prioritizing accessibility, safety, and parent-friendly spaces, including areas for breastfeeding and social connection.

By fostering these opportunities, the Play Hays Foundation aims to strengthen community bonds, nurture early learning, and help children grow through the power of imaginative play.
