What is Protect & Play?
Protect and Play is a nationwide sweepstakes fundraiser designed to unite communities, schools, and supporters in a powerful effort to protect students while uplifting youth programs. At its core, it combines two things people care deeply about—school safety and sports—into a single campaign where every entry both supports a cause and offers a chance to win big prizes.
How It Started
The idea was born from a simple truth: schools are struggling. Across the country, campuses lack the resources to stay secure, and vital programs like sports and extracurriculars are often cut. Traditional fundraising methods can’t meet the scale of today’s challenges, leaving schools and families with few options.
The Problem We’re Solving
Protect and Play changes that. By tying together the excitement of sweepstakes with a direct investment in schools, we’ve created a new way for communities to rally behind students. Funds raised go directly toward safer campuses, stronger programs, and healthier environments for youth.
At its heart, Protect and Play is about more than winning prizes—it’s about making sure every student feels safe, supported, and able to thrive, both in the classroom and on the field.
The campaign brings two opportunities together:
For Individuals:
A chance to win a vehicle (valued up to $25,000) through the Protect & Play Sweepstakes.
For Schools:
A competition where athletic teams and student programs can win up to $100,000 in prizes, based on their fundraising efforts and community engagement.
