Join the Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati for an evening of community, connection, and impact as we help rebuild the 1,000 Hands Playground — an inclusive, adaptive play space for children of all abilities.
Location: The Boathouse Tent Pavilion at Sawyer Point
Date: Thursday, May 14, 2026, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
In early 2025, the beloved 1,000 Hands playground under the Big Mac bridge caught fire. Rotary helped build this playground 20+ years ago, and we’re going to help rebuild it!
Proceeds from Play It Forward will support the rebuild of the 1,000 Hands Park, with a portion also benefiting the Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati’s work empowering local youth.
