Description

Hello,

My name is Brandon Johnson, and I am the Chair of the Caryville Cares Inclusive Playground project. Campbell County, Tennessee, has one of the highest percentages of disabled people in the country. More than 20% of residents are disabled, yet we have no playground in the community that can accommodate individuals with special needs.

On March 12th, our largest fundraiser is happening - a fundraising dinner and auction, where 100% of proceeds go to the park. Our organization is a subset of the Lions Club, and a 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID # 62-1709197).

I wanted to reach out and see if you all would be willing to help make our dream of inclusive play a reality?

Thank you for your consideration.

-Brandon
