Overview

Over the past few years our organization’s dream has been to build a park in our neighborhood.  Our vision for this park is more than just playground equipment.  It is a place for children to grow up and for neighbors to build a sense of community.  We have partnered with a church in our neighborhood who graciously donated land for the park.  However, now we are trying to raise funds to purchase the playground equipment.  The playground set up we have selected will cost over $50,000 dollars and that amount of money seems insurmountable on our own.  We have a simple goal; to create a safe place where the children in our neighborhood can go to exercise and meet new friends as well as giving the caregivers an opportunity to network and get to know one another.  This park would serve the need for a common area in our neighborhood.  It would become the heart for our community. 

Please help us reach our goal!
