You are cordially invited to a

Castaway Soirée

There is an extreme lack of intergenerational all-inclusive playgrounds throughout the country.  Far too many people, from babies through the elderly, including those living with visible and invisible disabilities, are left behind and not considered when a playscape is being created.  We are going to change that by building an inspiring playground that is universally designed to be a socially inclusive playground for all!  Based on the 1812 shipwrecked adventure novel, The Swiss Family Robinson, it is truly more than a playground.  It is a playscape for all ages and all abilities that combines the wonder of nature, the excitement of playground equipment, and the adventure of discovering new ideas.
 
We are cordially inviting you to our Castaway Soirée!  As our inaugural fundraiser, the Castaway Soirée will be an evening of shipwrecked entertainment to raise money for the construction of the Swiss Family Robinson Adventure Playground.  Wear your best deserted island outfits and comfortable shoes (there will be some walking outside, weather permitting).

RSVP: by purchasing your tickets by June 10, 2025.

ATTIRE: Casual – Shipwrecked Castaway attire encouraged, but not required. (see examples of attire)

We’ve received a $500,000 MATCHING GRANT! For every dollar we raise by July 31st, we will receive a matching dollar up to $500,000. So far we’ve raised $250,000 THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN MATCHED! Help us meet the remainder of the grant!

All proceeds from the Castaway Soirée go towards the construction of the intergenerational all-inclusive Swiss Family Robinson Adventure Playground in Spring Grove, Illinois.

Please contact PtG Community Center for more information at info@placetogather.org.

Let’s begin this adventure together!
