WE PLAY TOO MUCH...
ON PURPOSE!

At Let's Get Social Raleigh, "We play too much… on PURPOSE" is more than a tagline—it’s the heartbeat of who we are. Founded by a Black woman and disabled veteran, LGSR is pioneering a powerful culture across North Carolina, encouraging adults to reimagine, rethink, reclaim, and prioritize their mental, physical, and emotional well-being through harnessing the transformative power of play, nature, connections, and community. Our nationally recognized Adult Recess has become our staple event, drawing attendees from all over the country. As the only grassroots organization combining play, nature, and community to support adult well-being, we’re proud to combat isolation, reduce exhaustion, and foster a true sense of belonging and connections.

 

Play is essential—not just for kids, but for adults balancing life’s demands who need space to reconnect with themselves and each other. Purpose-driven play allows us to create safe, welcoming spaces where adults can reset, recharge, and rediscover joy. These moments of laughter, connection, and community are more than fun; they build resilience, spark creativity, and foster belonging that enhances every part of our lives.
