Upgrade Taborspace's playground!
Tax deductible
After 20 years of service to Southeast Portland's kids, the playground outside Mount Tabor Presbyterian Church and Taborspace was declared uninsurable and removed in September.
This is a chance to give our area something it has never had: an exciting nature playground informed by the best research on what gets kids active, social and adventurous. It will:
• provide a variety of natural, durable play elements, from balance logs to an "up and over" ladder to a hillside slide and tunnel
• be suitable for both older and younger kids, both active and passive play
• improve the fence
• enlarge the play area 30%
• improve access for kids & adults with disabilities
To make this happen, a team of nonprofits who operate at 54th and Belmont (the church, Mount Tabor Co-operative Preschool and PeaPod Family Resource Center) is chipping in money from our general funds and raising more through various small grant programs. But we also need some help from you.
Your tax-deductible gift will serve children you may know, and hundreds or thousands of others, for decades to come.
