We are off and running for 2019

We came out of ‘stealth’ mode last weekend and have been pleasantly surprised at our fund raising. We have a goal for the first year of $50,000 and we are well on our way there. We have had some good meetings with one of the local school districts and it looks like we will be meeting with their Special Needs parents group at the next monthly meeting. We also had a great discussion about what the school system may need. It is a way we might be able to help multiple families.

Interestingly, he stated that federal and state government fund playgrounds all the time. Unfortunately, all these funded playgrounds are for regular children. He stated that his wish list is to find a way to fund ‘adaptive’ playgrounds so his special needs children and families would have a place to go. We are going to do some research to see how we might be able to help.
