Unlimited Play will hold its 2026 annual gala, “The Inclusion Revolution,” on Saturday, November 7, from 6:00 – 10:00PM at Ameristar Casino Resort in St. Charles.
The organization’s largest fundraising event of the year will support its work creating universally accessible playgrounds where children of all abilities can play together. Guests can support the mission by attending the gala, becoming a sponsor, entering the raffle or making a donation.
The St. Peters-based nonprofit was founded in 2003 after Natalie Mackay saw how traditional playgrounds excluded her son Zachary, who used a wheelchair. That experience inspired Zachary’s Playground, which opened in Lake Saint Louis in 2007 and helped launch a national movement.
Unlimited Play has now helped create more than 100 inclusive playgrounds across the country. Its work goes beyond providing physical access, designing spaces where children with physical, cognitive, sensory and developmental differences can participate alongside siblings and friends.
