This Community Built it Themselves
For the many children living at Delowe Village in Atlanta, playtime used to mean having to take turns playing on a small, outdated play structure that only served three children at once.
Thanks to a grant from Dr Pepper Snapple Group and KaBOOM!, on June 4th all that changed when residents and volunteers from the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership (ANDP) built a new playground at Delowe Village. Volunteers also installed 8 community garden beds (complete with fresh seeds), and put in 500 plants.
"The residents at Delowe Village are enjoying their new playground and are so thankful to everyone who helped transform their community. It truly took a village to make this project happen, and we at ANDP are overwhelmed by the generosity of KaBOOM! and Dr Pepper Snapple Group for making this playground a reality."
- John O'Callaghan, President & CEO, ANDP
Your support helps KaBOOM! make a difference in the lives of so many kids annually. Thank you for continuing to lift up the cause of play.

Such was the case for nine Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America Simon Kenton Council, who celebrated their achievement together at a joint Court of Honor.
Lest people have the misconception that this particular group of Scouts was focused only on earning Eagle and nothing else, the Newark Advocate shared details on the many activities these Scouts participated in during their Scouting careers (which started at the Cub Scout level for several of these Scouts READ MORE.....
