Like the Energizer bunny, we're still going...

Well, even though we have reached our goal of $65,000 the donations and support are still coming in hand over fist. This only goes to show how much everyone supports and believes in this project. What an awesome feeling knowing that when we all pulled together we accomplished our goal, even when there were some that believed it wasn't possible. So here we are, 9 days away from Build Day and still receiving donations, this is community spirit like nothing we have ever seen before. We are so happy you all have choosen to be a part of it and the best is yet to come!

So what happens to all that money that is raised above and beyond our goal of $65,000?
Well, that's simple. It will all go to further enhance the playground by allowing us to purchase additional pieces of playground equipment for our children in the coming months. Yay! Although, time constraints will not allow us to have additonal pieces for our build day on the 24th of September, the pieces would be added in the very near future! :-)
