Join Us for the 2025 Play Ball Holiday Drive & Market
The 2025 Play Ball Holiday Drive & Market is an annual community initiative powered by Creative Duke and proudly supported by the Black Chamber of Commerce of New Mexico. This year, we are expanding the event with a new Holiday Market experience, creating a warm, family-centered space where community members can gather, support local vendors, and celebrate the season together.
Our mission remains focused on giving back and encouraging healthy, active play for youth across Albuquerque. This event embodies the spirit of community, generosity, and the joy of the holiday season while promoting physical wellness and outdoor activity for children.
What to Expect
Free Gift Pick-Up for Kids: Families are invited to RSVP for free gift pick-up, where each child will receive one sports-related gift at no cost. Gifts are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and children are welcome to choose the item they love most—whether it's a basketball, soccer ball, football, baseball equipment, or other sporting goods.
Holiday Market: Browse and shop from local vendors offering unique handmade goods, holiday treats, artisan crafts, and more. Support small businesses and find the perfect gifts for your loved ones while enjoying a festive atmosphere.
Community Engagement: Connect with neighbors, enjoy family-friendly activities, and experience the warmth of community during the holiday season. This is more than an event—it's a celebration of togetherness and giving back.
