Every kid in Brooklyn deserves a safe place to play.

I'm Ray Emmanuel, founder of Allied Forces Inc., a Brooklyn nonprofit bringing free youth wellness programs directly to the neighborhoods that need them most.

This fall, we're launching the Canarsie Youth Wellness & Safe Play Series — six free community events featuring pedal go-karts, youth bicycles, and social-emotional learning activities, right in the schoolyards and parks where our kids already are. Every event is free. Every kid rides. Every family is welcome. Our free ride programs run year-round, outdoors and indoors, on an ongoing basis.

Too many Brooklyn neighborhoods lack safe, structured recreational spaces. Our mobile programs bring the playground to the block — no fees, no barriers, no kid turned away.

Where your donation goes:

• $25 — helmets and safety gear for 5 kids

• $50 — a full day of programming supplies for one event

• $100 — staffing for a youth marshal at one activation

• $250 — sponsors one child's full year-round series experience

• $500 — brings the entire mobile unit to a new block

Allied Forces Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 84-3767472). Your donation is tax-deductible.

We don't wait for permission to serve our community. But we do need your help to keep rolling.

Donate. Share. Bring a kid.
