WHY THIS EVENT IS SO SPECIAL
Kids Together Playground was intentionally built in line with Universal Design principles to ensure that accessible, multi-sensory, and inclusive equipment is integrated together so people of all ages and abilities can play side by side (not separately).

Every year, Kids Together, Inc. — the nonprofit dedicated to supporting the playground — puts on the only fundraiser at the playground and dedicates 100% of proceeds DIRECTLY toward new inclusive equipment and features! 

Inclusive play isn't a one-time build, it's an evolution of inclusion year after year. To do that, Kids Together needs your support to help build the future of inclusive play!
