Wakeman Town Farm Playground

Donation protected
Dear Friends,

My name is Carrie Aitkenhead. As many of you know, I am the co-steward of Wakeman Town Farm. I am writing this letter to fundraise for a new children's playground here at WTF.

Almost three years ago, my husband and I bought a small play set to entertain our two children, then 2 and 4, while we worked in the farm gardens. Over the past few years, our farm programming has grown to serve over several hundred children per year. In addition, the farm now serves as a site for many elementary school field trips and many visitors during our public hours. Our family has been overjoyed to share this play set, but with the many delighted squeals and giggles came much wear and tear, broken pieces, and now instability.

With this fundraiser, I am hoping to purchase a set that is suitable and safe for all age babies and children, and if I can, I would like to include a swing that can accommodate wheelchair bound children as well.

Any contributions that take us beyond the cost of the playground, will be passed on to our 2015 Capital Campaign, "Our Town. Our Farm." This campaign is raising money to build a new classroom and community center for year-round programming at the farm.

Please consider making a donation in any amount. Your generosity will allow me and WTF to reach our goals of serving you, your children, and the community to the best of our ability.

All my gratitude,
Carrie Aitkenhead
