They dreamed big and so have we. Our federal status, international stature, and unparalleled collections make it possible for us to create enduring impact. We are able to do this because of our vast and diverse audience and through a range of strategic partnerships, as described in the following pages. FRONT COVER: Eliane Strip explores with her grandson the story of her late husband’s escape from Nazi-occupied Belgium to the United States in 1940–41. Some of the family’s immigration documents are included in an interactive display in the Museum’s newest exhibition. Five years in the making, Americans and the Holocaust (LEFT) examines all aspects of American society in the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s and the amount of information available to Americans about the persecution of Jews as it was happening. This exhibition asks why rescuing Jews never became a priority. All photos US Holocaust Memorial Museum unless otherwise indicated.

  • Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Letter from Jill 4 Making a Difference 5 Rock Paper Givers Society 6 Sources and Use of Funds 7 Our Fiscal Year Impact 8-27 Playworks Supporters 28 Playworks National Board of Directors 29-32 Playworks Regional Boards 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Greetings, I’ve been thinking recently about something. Maya Angelou once said: “There is nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic, because it means the person has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.” It is an extraordinary time in our country. And if there is one thing I’m absolutely certain of, it is that we must continue to believe in the possibilities for our nation, and even more importantly, our children. At Playworks, we believe play is an antidote to cynicism and it is possible to ensure that every child in this country has access to safe and healthy play every day. Knowing the transformative difference we’re making in the lives of kids, we are compelled to grow. And I’m proud to say in fiscal year 2017, we did just that. We still aim to ensure safe and healthy play for 3.5 million kids at 7.000 schools by December 2020. So we know, we need to open our playbook to schools we have not supported in person. In October, we launched Recess Lab, a free online destination created to help principals, teachers, parents, and kids re-discover the power of play. We offered tools like our Recess Checkup – a three-minute online quiz designed to help principals and teachers identify strengths, uncover areas for improvement, and understand what’s really happening for kids in their school And we have seen amazing engagement.
