Need to raise 100,000 for new school playground need ideas?

veryruralchick asked:


Looking to raise money for a new school playground. This will also be used by the whole community as the town playground. The current playground has flooding during the spring and the equipment is unsafe. All the work is being done by volunteers but the sod and pea gravel and playground equipment along with a new drainage system will be around 100,000. The community has been donating all it can, but we need other sources. Any ideas out there?

That’s awesome Toomuch - we used to do that too and see who could swing the highest! Some of the boys could get REALLY high in the air.
