I am pleased and excited to announce that Darrel's Playground will be a part of the Stait Park {on Garafraxa St. and Provost Lane} renovation and transformation into the first fully accessible playground built in Fergus and Centre Wellington!! "Power of Play", a local group organized by Andy Speers (whose son Asher was born with Down Syndrome), hopes to raise the needed $150,000 - $175,000 to make this massive undertaking a reality. With your support, "In Memory of Darrel Robb" will be included with other sponsors on the park's dedication sign.
Ever since I begun Darrel's Playground, I have wanted it to exist not only in cyberspace, but somewhere in the physical world as well. Originally I had plans to do something at St. Joseph's Catholic School, where Darrel had attended Junior Kindergarten, but there have been several setbacks along the way, which along with the passage of time, has made that option no longer
viable. This project at Stait Park provides an excellent way to allow me to achieve some part of this dream, while helping the present and future children of my community a safe and all inclusive, barrier-free area to enjoy the outdoors.
While there will be many fundraisers for the park in the future, I would greatly appreciate you donating through me directly to the Playground's account, so that the funds will go towards getting Darrel's name on the sign.
To become a "Bronze Sponsor", we need to raise at least $3000 over the next 18 months. Every 2 months, I will transfer the money to Mr. Speers, who will then have the Township of Centre Wellington issue a Tax Receipt for all donations over $25.00, which I'll mail out to you once I receive them.
