See Mama Run

We have a cool park right down the street from our house. It is about a block away with great, brand new equipment, a shelter for picnics, tennis courts, a basketball court, benches, trees, a giant red swing for parents to enjoy while their children play. It is Victory park and it is enjoyed very much by the children in my neighborhood.
I have a friend, named Joanna, who lives in a little town near Urbana, called Thomasboro. Their park is not as great. It really isn't much of a place for her little boy to play. It has a swing set that is old and rusty, a basketball court that is falling apart and a ball field that has seen better days. And her little town is ready to do something about that! So Joanna is heading up a fund raising campaign to fix the playground and make it a great place for all of the kids in her neighborhood to play including her own. So, how can you help? Go check out Seemamarun to find out what she is up to and how you can donate. 100% of the proceeds will be used to improve West Side Park. If we all give a little, we can make a difference for many children who could really use a fun, safe place to play.
