Hi everyone! My name is Leah and I've been working with Choyce to help get this playground funded through KaBOOM! and the Knight Foundation. I work with a lot of different folks all over the country, but I have been both moved and impressed by the work of Jude MBC since I first spoke to Choyce several months ago. Raising $7500 is a big hurdle - not to mention permitting costs and other costs that are sure to arise with a build. I wanted to let folks know that you have some friends in Northern California who will be supporting your fundraising efforts! I'm originally from the San Francisco area, and I've spread the word about your project to as many people as I can and have asked them mail their contributions for your playground to me in Washington, DC. As soon as I receive donations, I'll mail them straight on to Choyce. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted. Please let me know if there is any other way I can help! Leah

Dear Team, Kaboom, have a wonderful tool kit with everything we every thought about building a playground and didn't know how or where to start answered for us. So lets get started by meeting every Tuesday. Please review the tool kit and see where you want to get invloved. If you are a member who can't attend meetings let me know via email your ideas and what skill you might have to offer

Team, everyone should watch this infomative video! You will learn more reasons way play matters. I also learned more hazards then we realized are on the city playground. I learned how to recognize and select age appropriate equipment. Please watch and lets talk in our meeting on tuesday!

For the past three years the men in our church have cut the grass of the city own playground so that the children in the community would be safer (grass sometimes would reach waist high). After our continuing request for safe equipment the city to us that the playground was closed (Not to be reopened). We had purchase three lots behind our day care center in hopes of one day being able to build a playground. Therefore when we heard about this oppertuinty with Kaboom we thought we felt it a God send for this dream project.
