Have you heard about the Pepsi Refresh Project? Through the project, Pepsi is giving away more than $20 million in 2010. Anyone can submit an idea at the website and each month website visitors vote to determine which ideas get funded. Pepsi launched the Refresh Everything initiative in 2009, and the project grew out of that. This year, Pepsi is supporting ideas that will move the world forward in six categories: Health, Arts & Culture, Food & Shelter, The Planet, Neighborhoods and Education.
Now, CVS/Pharmacy, through the CVS Caremark All Kids Can foundation and Boundless Playgrounds are joining the challenge, working together to provide children a place to play in an inclusive environment. From now until September 28th (noon ET), you can visit boundlessplay.refresheverything.com and vote on which playground idea should get $70,000 in funding to build a Boundless Playground. You may vote one time per person per day, and the winning idea will be announced on September 28, 2010.
On a Boundless Playground children of all abilities can benefit developmentally and physically from play, as well as learn to appreciate the unique abilities of others. The partnership is made possible through CVS Caremark All Kids Can, a 5-year, $25 million commitment to support children with disabilities. In the past four years, CVS Caremark All Kids Can has supported Boundless Playgrounds and donated more than $4 million to help build more than 50 Boundless Playgrounds nationwide.
Boundless Playgrounds is the leading nonprofit developer of truly inclusive playgrounds where children of all abilities gain the important developmental and physical benefits of unstructured play. On a Boundless Playground all children can be in the middle of the fun. There are nearly 200 Boundless Playgrounds in 31 states and Canada, with over 100 under development.
