Celebrating a Champion of Play: Jake Wimpee

We are proud to shine a spotlight on Jake Wimpee of Lea Park & Play – servicing Texas and Oklahoma, who was recently honored with the Kids Around the World Champion Award at this year’s Little Tikes Commercial Sales Conference.

This recognition is well-deserved and speaks to the heart of what makes our partnership with representatives like Jake so meaningful. His work goes beyond playgrounds—it extends into communities and hearts across the globe. By encouraging customers to support a mission greater than themselves, Jake exemplifies what it means to be a true Champion of PLAY.

When asked what receiving this award meant to him, Jake shared,

“It’s truly special; my faith plays a central role in who I am. To work in this field, sell playgrounds, and also have the opportunity to give back is incredibly fulfilling. Jeff has become a close friend, and I am truly grateful for Brett and Little Tikes Commercial’s decision to partner with Kids Around the World.”

We are sincerely grateful for our ongoing partnership with Little Tikes Commercial and for passionate representatives like Jake who embody the spirit of this collaboration. Their continued commitment ensures that more children around the world experience the joy of PLAY.
