United Way is bringing together companies across our community to build a new playground for Marie G. Davis K-8 School as part of the annual Charlotte Playground Build.
JOIN US IN BUILDING DREAMS
A safe, fun school playground can cost over $80,000. We invite you to be part of the 2022 Charlotte Playground Build by becoming a sponsor. Sponsorships range from $1,000 to $15,000 and offer the opportunity for your team members to volunteer to construct the new playground on October 28, 2022.
When you and your co-workers volunteer to construct a playground, you’ll find yourselves inspired and fulfilled by the immediate results of your efforts. Plus, you will discover it’s the perfect way to build teamwork and a creative sense of play within your company!
