Disco Fundraiser 2012!

Working in the health care field as a pediatric nurse, I am constantly reminded that not every child is freely able to run and play.  Some are left out of normal childhood activities, such as playing at the park, because they have disabilities that do not allow them to climb on or even sit on the playground equipment.

The nonprofit Madison Claire Foundation is working to change that.  Their mission is to "enhance the lives of children and families living with physical and developmental disabilities by giving them the opportunity to play alongside others through the creation of a universal playground. Playgrounds should be for everyone!"

The foundation's first project will be a $1 million totally accessible  playground in Woodbury, MN.  As their website says, "every playground claims to be handicap accessible. But any parent of a disabled child, or disabled parent themselves, will tell you that accessible and inclusive can be entirely different. Madison’s Place will be the first fully inclusive playground built in the Twin Cities."

As of this October, they are just $300,000 away from reaching their goal and breaking ground.  That's where the Madison Claire Foundation Disco Event comes in...
