It’s about answering when our neighbors call. Today the @minnesotalynx & @PHEEsespieces surprised youth & @PlayworksMN with a new basketball hoop after finding out their old one was vandalized and damaged.

Auditor Blaha joined @MNSteveSimon, legislative staff, and students on the Capitol lawn for @PlayworksMN’s “Recess for Recess.”

Fun to join @julieblaha as a “referee” of some fierce four-square games in front of the Capitol, sponsored by ⁦@PlayworksMN⁩. They even gave us whistles!

If you can see her, then you can be her 🌟 On #NGWSD2023, we had the opportunity to host recess at Marcy Arts Magnet Elementary school with @PlayworksMN and @PHEEsespieces as part of the "Let's Get Active: @WNBA NGWSD Recess Celebration program!

These are the moments of play that we cherish!
