Our Logo
It all started one sunny Saturday morning in Southern California at the kitchen table. A father, who was also a sports illustrator, and his 7 year old soccer-loving-daughter teamed up to draw and color cards, invitations and games for her upcoming soccer themed birthday party. That fun day - creating, drawing, expressing gratitude through art and special time together - was the beginning of Play Strong® Sports. Since then, thanks to you, Sports Powercards™ - our signature product - have been written to encourage thousands of athletes, coaches, friends, families and sports fanatics around the globe. Our products have sold in all 50 US states and more than 15 countries. We've received thousands of rave reviews - it's been a blast - and we've gotten to help out a bunch of kids too - thank you!

Our Motto
"Write a Card. Change the World." We donate a portion of every sale to help kids in need around the world supporting charities such as JamQuest.org (Check out JamQuest - they're amazing, making a huge difference in kid's lives!) And that's another cool story.
