Playground Fire at Black Rock Elementary

Donation protected
On the morning of June 18, 2014 someone or a group of people senselessly burned down the playground structure at Black Rock Elementary School. Dominic Gaeta, a second grader at this school, heard the news about the playground arson and immediately wanted to help. After collecting the coins he had in his piggy bank he asked us what more he could do. After talking about this event further he decided he wanted to bring his idea to the community and try to collect money. His heart was broken thinking about all the kindergartners coming to school in August who wouldn't have a playground to play on.

Please help the Black Rock and the Erie community by donating in any domination you can. Extra coins in your piggy bank, or on the floor of your car will add up to something that can help replace the playground equipment. Let’s come together as a community and do what we can to help support the children of Erie and Black Rock Elementary.

Thank you for your donations! Go Wildcats!!
