The Playmakers

A day full of smiles, connection, and new friendships at Cordova High School ❤️

Our Playmakers had an amazing time out on the football field for a fun-filled sports activity day alongside student athletes from Cordova High. These students took time out of their school day to show up, encourage, participate, and create meaningful connections with their fellow classmates with developmental differences.

Moments like these are what inclusion is all about — building friendships, making memories, and creating a community where everyone belongs.

A huge thank you to Cordova High School for welcoming us onto your campus and to all of the student athletes who helped make the day so special for our Playmakers! 😄🏈☀️

For the third year in a row, we had the honor of bringing The Playmakers to Aberdeen, South Dakota 💙
What started with Carson Leonhardt’s vision to create a camp for kids with developmental differences is now being carried on by Brenner Waldrop, who is doing an incredible job showing his community and fellow student athletes the power of inclusion and the impact one person can make.
With nearly 40 Playmaker kids, 30 amazing student volunteers from Central High School’s football and track teams, and so many local supporters, the day was filled with smiles, connection, and unforgettable moments.
A huge thank you to the Aberdeen Shriners, our sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who gave up their Saturday morning to support these kids. We couldn’t do this without you. 💫
