We work with The University of Missouri and their affiliated hospitals to provide hope for children within the community. We provide our services to children afflicted with various medical conditions including illness, disability, or disease. We are a 501(c)3 organization and 100% of donations go directly to supporting our cause. We hope to one day expand to sites outside of central Missouri.

✨ Smiles all around!✨
Playing 4 Hope, along with Mizzou Gymnasts Addison Lawrence and Amy Wier, stopped by to visit Ember, who loved chatting about gymnastics, cheerleading, her pets, and her impressive collection of stuffed animals 🐯🤸‍♀️
She especially enjoyed playing with the toy stethoscope from her Playing 4 Hope basket 🩺
had a competition coming up that week, and the girls wore their matching Playing 4 Hope wristbands that they had gifted to Ember to let her know they were thinking of her during the competition 💛

Huge thanks to this week’s sponsor, Jones & Ueligger Law, for helping make moments like this possible!

Meet Playing 4 Hope’s newest buddy, Nico! 💛✨

Nico hung out with players Cayden Green ( #70) and Dom Giudice ( #56). They bonded over fishing (fun fact: Nico once caught a fish over 4 feet long! 🎣), power lifting, gaming, and all things Mizzou football.

Cayden and Dom brought him an awesome basket filled with Mizzou gear, a poster signed by themselves and their teammates, and a P4H wristband. They even wore their matching wristbands in dedication to Nico as they took on Texas A&M! 🐯💛

Your donations help us spread joy and hope to kids like Nico all season long. Check out our drop-off locations and online donation options to get involved! ✨
