I recently posted information about Kimberly-Clarke's $ 2 million commitment
to build playgrounds around the country.

I guess some people that have called have been told that all sites have been
selected for the coming year.

Another resource you could call is Kaboom! Kaboom is a new national
organization created to assist communities that want to undertake a
community-built playground project. They provide all-around technical
assistance and even help communities connect with funding. They were
contracted to help Kimberly-Clarke in their big effort and have a strong
partnership with Home Depot.

Kaboom! is based in Washington, DC and can be reached at 202-659-0215.
