About This Grant
We are requesting support for the 17th annual Big Day of Play (BDOP). BDOP is hosted annually by Seattle Parks & Recreation and will be held on Aug. 17, 2024, from 12-5pm at Rainier Playfields & Mt. Baker Rowing & Sailing Center. BDOP is a free event where families and individuals come together to enjoy a day filled with activities, games, inflatables, a basketball tournament, block party, vendor wellness fair, and live performances. Activities throughout the day will engage children, adults, seniors, and families while fostering community relations and healthy lifestyle opportunities. The goals of this community event include improving health outcomes, expanding relationships with underserved communities, and removing barriers to access, opportunity, and resources in Seattle communities, with an emphasis on underserved communities.
