These professionals include teachers, social workers, therapists, and hospital workers, through whom children are able to reconnect, engage, and explore the surrounding world through playful and positive

relationships between adult and child. “We were overwhelmed by the fantastic turnout and support in the tournament’s first year,” said Duane Shooltz. “It was a great event for a worthy cause that S&E is truly proud to have organized and sponsored. We can’t wait to see it grow even further next year.” Left to right: Jordan Gill (director of community fundraising at Life is Good), Jay Munsey, Steve Gross (executive director at Life is Good Playmakers), Duane Shooltz, and BenO'Meara(trainingcoordinator at Life is good Playmakers)
