Saturday, April 28 has been named Creative Play Day by the Creative Play Project. On the day, a portion of proceeds collected during the day from participating retailers will go toward putting games into the hands of kids. Retailers are encouraged to sign up at www.creativeplayproject.org/participate/retailers to receive marketing support.

Publishers backing the project include Calliope Games, Glow Fly Games, Highpoint Games, Out of the Box Publishing, Patch Products, Sandstorm Productions, Looney Labs, Mayfair Games, and Moosetache Games.
