Park Slope Playground campaign

I always enjoyed playing kickball during recess in elementary school. What a great opportunity to bring entertainment and joy to so many children with such a simple object.

Every kid deserves a chance to play. Let's work together to make this happen!

We all need to experience play as kids - kickball is essential.

KaBOOM! is really doing some great work. I love all of their gifts ... (http://www.changingthepresent.org/nonprofits/show/60/gifts) but hey, who doesn't love kickball!

What a great idea!!

Play - it's always a great cause to support! I am in!

Hi Emily. I'm so glad you started this drive. Imagine -- for the cost of a movie ticket, dozens of kids could have a whole year of fun and healthy play. Count me in. And I look forward to seeing you at the grand opening of the playground.

Hey, everyone! Here's a blog for you to join the conversation. Tell us about your memories on the playground, how the kids you know like to play, or whatever seems meaningful. And please be sure to help spread the word about this drive to provide balls for the playground.
