It started around a breakfast table at Edie's, a little farmhouse restaurant that's been in our town since 1849. We were ten. 

We had just finished an early morning lacrosse practice and decided to get some pancakes. We talked about setting up a lemonade stand that day, but decided to ditch that idea and start a company instead.

We originally thought we'd sell some sports t-shirts with some cool logos. That didn't go anywhere, nor did the next few attempts at starting something over the years that followed. 

But finally, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, we realized we could do something even more impactful.  We realized we could start a nonprofit and Play4 things that truly matter.  So we spent the Summer of the pandemic creating a plan, and in December 2020, we launched Play4.
