Ryan's Playground

Donation protected
Update:  The response and generosity to Ryan's Playground Fund has been overwhelming.  To that end, any funds donated in excess of the amount needed to build the playground will be contributed to an education fund for Ryan's children.  Thank you for your continued support.

The Lincoln, IL community recently lost a great friend and supporter in Ryan Williams. One of Ryan’s dreams was to build a new playground at Washington-Monroe School where his children will attend. 

I’m pleased to share that any memorial funds given in Ryan’s name to Lincoln Elementary School District #27 will be used to construct the playground.  It will be a source of fun and joy for kids in Lincoln for years to come.

Please help make Ryan's dream a reality!
