The Playground project continues to move forward. We have raised over $10,000 from the community during this fall’s fundraising campaign. Many letters were sent, and we received contributions from all over the neighborhood. Over 120 people gave money. All money donated to the project goes towards our the playground.
We have recently submitted grant applications to the St. Louis Rams Foundation and to the Enterprise Leasing Foundation. We should hear from them sometime in May. We expect that we will have one more request for contributions from the community in June or July, and then we hope to begin construction in late summer.
The Playground sponsored an Ice Skating Party at Steinberg Rink on February 12th. Over 100 people attended and had a great, if somewhat chilly, time. Altogether, we have raised over $25,000 in cash and commitments plus a $4,000 in-kind donation. That brings us to the halfway point—the cost of constructing the first phase of the playground is $55,000.
That will provide equipment (half of the total design), a fence, a sidewalk designed with tricycles in mind, and a few special touches provided by Andy Cross.
