Why We Run: NFW Littles Playgroup is a volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to fostering a nurturing, developmentally enriching environment where young children (ages 0–4) and their caregivers in the North Fort Worth community can connect, learn, and grow together. All proceeds support the organization’s day-to-day operations, help maintain and sustain programming, and enable us to provide meaningful, enriching experiences for local families and their littles. The NFW Littles Hero Hustle was created to bring families together, encourage healthy movement, and celebrate the everyday superheroes in our community, including parents, children, teachers, first responders, and all those who make a difference each day.
