Family Play Nights That Build Memories and Strengthen Bonds
At Nfin8 Hearts, we believe play is not just for kids — it’s a powerful way to bring families closer, create lasting memories, and strengthen communities. Our Family Play Nights give schools and organizations the chance to be part of those moments while raising funds in a fun, meaningful way. We handle everything — staffing, insurance, setup, and cleanup — so hosting is simple and stress-free. Serving Crown Point, Lake County, Porter County, and the greater Chicagoland area, our events transform gyms, cafeterias, and community spaces into vibrant hubs of laughter, games, and connection.

"With a large crew and multiple kids on the spectrum, it’s often tough to find outings that work for everyone. Crowds, noise, and unpredictable environments can be overwhelming, and sometimes we have to sit things out.
But this event was perfect! Thoughtfully planned, welcoming, and just the right pace for our whole family. Every single one of our kids had an absolute blast, and as parents, it meant the world to see them all smiling, laughing, and making memories together.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the hosts for creating something so inclusive and joyful. This day will stay with us for a long time" -Phillip K.

We believe play is not just for kids. Our family events are built for grown-ups and littles to laugh, compete, and discover new games together — creating real moments you can’t get from the sidelines.
Fully insured, with trained staff and inclusive activity stations designed for all ages and abilities making every school, church, and community event stress-stress-free.
Grown-ups and littles don’t just attend — they play together. From parachute games and crafts, to music and mini-challenges, every station sparks connection and laughter that families remember long after the night ends.
From Crown Point to Lake County, Porter County, and the greater Chicagoland area — you bring the space, we handle setup, staffing, activities, and cleanup so your fundraiser or community night runs easily.
When families come together to play, amazing things happen—including hitting your fundraising goals. Our Family Play Nights fill your gym with laughter, movement, and community spirit while a share of every ticket goes directly to your school. We handle the setup, activities, and clean-up so your volunteers can enjoy the night right alongside everyone else.
