Join us in making a difference for families! Perk & Play aims to raise $25,000 in startup capital to create a dynamic indoor play space for children ages 0-5. As a future women- and veteran-owned business, we will provide a safe and engaging environment for little ones while building connections among parents within our community. Our research shows that Brunswick, with a population of just 8,800, has a strong demand for such a venue, especially for families who currently lack options. Your support can help us meet this need! Backers will enjoy exclusive perks including early access, membership discounts, and invitations to special events. Let’s create a vibrant play space together where children can thrive and parents can connect!
Please note: Commercial property is limited, and we intend to support Brunswick. However, we may end up with pending space commercial requirements in Jefferson, MD.
If we don't make our goal in 90 days, we will refund the pledge. No harm, no foul.
Updates
After rough summer, we have decided to delay opening. We need some personal time to evaluate business and personal goals. If you donated to to this fundraiser please reach out so we can return the funds as promised!
TY!
So in a plot twist, I had to have surgery on 3/26/25. I am fine and on the mend but recovery is very slow. We are still working on drafting an LOI for the location and planning on attending the SHEPITCH event in the fall to compete for funding. Thank you for following along.
We're Still Pushing Forward!
Hey everyone! We wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for all your support so far. We’re still working toward our goal, but if you’ve noticed a change in the amount—we want to be upfront about why.
After another walkthrough of the building, we discovered plumbing issues in the current bathroom that won’t meet code. And on top of that, code still requires us to add a second bathroom. Definitely not the news we were hoping for, but we’re adapting and pushing forward!
This isn’t ideal, but we’re not giving up hope. Your support means everything to us, and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way. Let’s keep this dream alive! 💛☕🎉
#PerkAndPlay #StillGoing #ThankYou
Today, we walked the building with our local architect and favorite commercial real estate agent. We are drafting up floor plans that include creating a second bathroom. This was a cost we weren't planning on, but it will be required to use this location. The goal is to have the plans finished by next week! Thank you all for your continued support. Please continue to share the link and continue backing for your perks! If we don't hit our goal in 90 days, we won't open, and the refunds will go back to everyone who backed the campaign.
Thank You for Your Support!
We are beyond grateful for everyone who has backed our campaign and sent words of encouragement—your support keeps us going! 🚀 Every contribution and message reminds us why Perk & Play is so important to our community.
Exciting updates: Today, we officially launched our Instagram! 🎉 Follow us at @perkplay_cafe to stay updated on our journey. 📸
We’re also working hard behind the scenes—attending the SBA’s Business Plan training and gearing up for She Pitch, a competition that could help bring our vision to life.
Thank you for believing in us! Keep sharing, following, and cheering us on—we can’t wait to bring this space to life for our little ones! 💛
