“Foresters believes in providing opportunities for families to spend quality time together,” said Bruce Burak
Planning for the playground began at a Design Day event held in February when local children and community leaders met with organizers from KaBOOM! and Foresters to design their dream playground. The children’s drawings were then used to create the final playground design. “We are extremely grateful for this partnership and the opportunity to provide a safe and accessible place to play for the children of this great, but underserved community,” said Larry W. Prince
Thanks to the work of Foresters, Greater Houston Development, Inc. and KaBOOM!, children and their families now have a 2,550 square-foot playground to call home that includes features such as a Slither Slide, Rockblocks Climbing Wall and Swingsets.
A passionate advocate for family well-being, Foresters recently launched the Tech Timeout” challenge, which encourages families to take a pledge to turn off all electronic devices for an hour a day for one week. For more details, visit techtimeout.com.
