Need recommendations for Inexpensive but safe school playground

I am only entering the ground floor of trying to get a playground at a public school site.  I have done a lot of online research on my own but could use the help of the more experienced Kaboom users.  The city in CT is in the middle of rebuilding the elementary schools. ....

Community dance group looking to help/perform
Posted: 20 Sep 07 5:08 PM
My name is Erik Schwan and I am part of a communtiy group called Lunchbox Jams.

We are a group that was established in 2004 as a breakdance crew with the desire to educate youths to the positive aspects of hip hop, it's origins, and the multitude of arts that are related to it (photography, drawing, graphic design, fashion, etc). Along with the countless events we have competed in, we have worked with Habitat for Humanity and danced most recently for the pediatrics wing at Beaumont Hospital, a large and reputable hospital in metro Detroit.

Our members are close friends from throughout Michigan who meet regularly to practice, teach, perform and brainstorm new ways to achieve these goals. This highly motivated, tight knit group strives to serve the community on a daily basis, which is what leads me here.

As a Home Depot associate, I have been introduced to KaBoom and the long lasting affect it can have on youths. We hope to team up with KaBoom in the future if possible, but in the mean time we would like to offer not only our dance abilities, but our man-power to help in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana builds. Although we would prefer to stay in Michigan, we are willing to travel. Mind you, all we ask for is a place to help out and show that hip hop has its roots founded firmly in improving the world.

Please feel free to check out our webpage, www.lunchboxjams.org and contact us via email, lunchboxjams@gmail.com. My personal cell phone number is 248.388.0996. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your comments. They are greatly appreciated.

We still have not heard from anyone regarding my post. As I stated, you are not only helping us by giving us a chance to showcase the positive influence hip hop has had on us, but you are helping your community and the children in it by gaining the manpower to complete a build and show them the amazing potential that can be achieved through friendship and a desire to gain the most out of whatever life hands them.

Please consider integrating our organization into your next build or into any other event that you might feel fitting. We have very few restraints and are a very open minded group. Thanks, everyone!
