Our Story

Unplug and Recharge was created by a few friends and our parents on New Year's Day -- 2025. We wanted to make a positive impact on our community while incorporating their passions and expertise. We decided to start a non-profit because we recognized how much screen time was isolating our peers and us from meaningful real-life interactions. We wanted to create a space where kids could connect, engage, and build friendships in person, away from the digital world. We believe that by fostering face-to-face communication, we can help other kids develop stronger social skills, build empathy, and create lasting bonds. Our mission is simple we want to help kids be kids—playing, laughing, and learning together in real life. In addition to our core purpose, we pledge to donate all of our proceeds to St. Jude's Children's Cancer Research Hospital, ensuring that our efforts not only benefited local communities but also supports children and families in need. With a heart for service, we envision a future where our work could make a meaningful difference both in the lives of the kids they helped and in the broader world.
