FRISCO, Texas (June 1, 2026) – Kaleidoscope Park, in partnership with the Ascendancy Group, is teaming up with current NFL player Sam Williams and former NFL player Charles Haley to host a free, family-friendly community event on Sunday, June 28, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Kaleidoscope Park in Frisco. Benefiting The Tackle Tomorrow Foundation, this high-energy celebration invites families and children of all ages to enjoy a dynamic day of fun, featuring a live DJ, a foam bubble party, interactive stations, lawn games, a variety of local food trucks and vendors, and more. Designed to bring the community together, the event offers the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories, enjoy the outdoors, and celebrate the power of play, connection, and community all while supporting the Tackle Tomorrow Foundation.
“Partnerships like this allow us to expand our impact and bring powerful, purpose-driven experiences to the Park,” said Shawn Jackson, Executive Director of Kaleidoscope Park. “We’re excited to welcome Tackle Tomorrow to Kaleidoscope Park for a day that inspires and uplifts our community.”
“I was taken in by a family that accepted me, helped me grow, and never treated me any differently. That experience shaped my understanding of what family truly represents. I learned that family isn’t always about blood – it’s about love, support, and the people who choose to stand beside you through every stage of life. As I grew older and entered the NFL, that lesson came full circle. Charles Haley took me under his wing and welcomed me into his family. He became a mentor, a role model, and someone who showed me the importance of giving back and investing in others. That’s what
For the Family Day is all about – making sure every child feels seen, supported, and loved. It’s about creating a space where families can come together, enjoy themselves, and know their community is behind them. Partnering with Charles Haley and the Tackle Tomorrow Foundation means so much to me because we share the same mission: helping kids believe in themselves and know they have people in their corner. That’s the kind of family, support system, and community every child deserves.” Sam Williams, Dallas Cowboys Defensive End and Founder of For the Family
“At Tackle Tomorrow, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. Events like For the Family Day help connect families with valuable resources, encourage learning, and strengthen the support systems that help children thrive. When communities come together, amazing things happen.” Charles Haley, Former NFL Player and Founder of Tackle Tomorrow
“When Sam brought this idea to me, I knew we had to make it happen. The goal was simple: put together a day that families actually want to come back to next year. An experience that feels good, that the kids remember, and that gives our local vendors a chance to be part of something the community appreciates. That’s what this is. Kaleidoscope Park and Tackle Tomorrow were the right partners to make it real, and I’m looking forward to seeing it all come together.” Rodney Smith, Founder & CEO of The Ascendancy Group
