Every child should reap the benefits of a lifestyle that’s active, healthy and fun. So we intend to give every single one of them in southeast Michigan that opportunity through sports.   Project Play was born out of State of Play, an extensive regional research initiative set in motion by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation. From the State of Play report, we gained insight into our children, their activity levels—and how we can make a difference for them.
