MEET A FELLOW PARENT
Hi, I’m Jeremy—a local dad.
I’m a Milwaukee dad and the founder of Fojut Ventures. I previously co-founded NEWaukee, the Night Market, and ART 64 in Tosa. Play Date brings that same love of human connection and play to families: shared experiences, first hellos, and familiar faces. Questions are welcome before you register.

COME ONCE FOR THE FUN. COME BACK FOR THE PEOPLE.
A first hello can become
a familiar face.
Find your first Play Date.
Pick a Social or Adventure, reserve your spots, and arrive knowing someone will be ready to welcome you.
Meet one new family.
A shared activity gives kids something to do and gives grown-ups a natural place to begin.
Come back to familiar faces.
The real magic is repetition. Each gathering makes the room feel a little more like yours.
