If you’re hankering to play games, Dallas Afterschool has just the ticket for you. Its 2024 Recess! fundraiser is the perfect playtime for first dates and longtime married types with “adult-sized versions of childhood classic games like Connect 4, Jenga, ladder ball, and cornhole, along with sought-after highlights like Musical Chairs and a prize-filled Sandbox.”
2024 Recess! Co-Chairs Kristi and Brian Erickson and Honorary Chair Dr. Froswá Booker-Drew have also arranged for “field-trip theme raffle packages like Adventure Camp that includes a choice of either a glamping getaway to The Grand Canyon, Sailing at Hilton Head or Fly Fishing in Boulder, Colorado” to be available online here.

Already, Recess! sponsors include Emy Lou and Jerry Baldridge, Anne and Terry Conner, Christina K. Hanger and Lyndon Cakerice, Kristi and Brian Erickson, Ellen and Steve Miller, Cesar Reyna and Ben Leal, Southern Fried Paper, Ticketnology, Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Veritex Bank.
While sponsors packages start at $1,000, a limited number of individual tickets are going for $225.
Have fun game-playing to “improve the quality and availability of after school and summer programs in Dallas County.”
