We are so close! Here is a huge shoutout to everyone who supported our Digger Dash and helped us get this far. We have raised an incredible $27,553 of our $35,000 goal!

We are well past the halfway mark, and the playground additions in progress are taking shape! Our new Gaga pit and other exciting features are just around the corner, and we are working towards our goal every day. We can almost hear the kids’ cheers.

Let's make this vision a reality. We will continue accepting donations until we meet our goal. Your contribution, big or small, gets us across the finish line.

Every dollar helps us make a difference!
