The photographs in this series were captured during Play Day on June 27, 2026, a free community celebration organized by the LA84 Foundation that brought together thousands of children and families for a day of sports, games, music, and active play. The event embodies LA84's commitment to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience the physical, social, and emotional benefits of sports, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Created as the legacy organization of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, the LA84 Foundation invests in youth sports programs, coaching education, community partnerships, and research to expand access to organized sports throughout Southern California. The foundation believes that participation in sports helps young people develop confidence, resilience, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits while strengthening communities.
