Registration is re-opened! Spread the word - invite your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to join us on build day. Together, we'll make sure that the kids in our neighborhood have the fun and safe place the play that they deserve!

 

The Brewer's Community Foundation is generously underwriting our playground project, but Our Next Generation is responsible for raising a portion of the funds as well. Thanks to the generousity of community members and sponsors, we're almost there! Can you help us close the gap?
