Play Strong® is the youth sports inspired greeting card and note card juggernaut; Home of the World Famous SPORTS POWERCARD™. Our exciting sports art is a high-impact combo of inspiring words, vivid graphics and hand-painted sports illustrations created right here in our studio. It all started with a FUN father-daughter hang time and a smiling soccer girl sketched on a napkin that magically turned into a birthday card and invitation. The fun artwork and ENCOURAGING message gathered a flash mob of giggling and screaming soccer girls. That was the spark. Since then thousands of SPORTS kids have been encouraged around the world.

We believe in the power of positive encouragement to inspire greatness. Our mission: To encourage and inspire young athletes, coaches and sports families to play strong in sports and life. We passionately support JamQuest Hoops, Athletes Serving Others, Varsity Impact Projects and much more.
