AWC Class of 2026 Closing Retreat
AWC Class of 2025 Receives Grant from WCCF
The 2025 Class of Awareness Washington County has been awarded a $60,000 grant from the Washington County Community Foundation in order to assist in their class project of installing an all-inclusive playground at Lake Salinda.
The all-inclusive playground is a community-led initiative led by the class and involves repurposing playground equipment from Bradie Shrum Elementary and supplementing that equipment with new, inclusive play structures. The goal is to provide a fully accessible recreational space for children of all abilities in Washington County. The project aims to create a universally accessible play space that fosters belonging, inclusion, and outdoor recreation to serve local families as well as attract visitors from surrounding counties, strengthening local business and reinforcing community pride.
While the grant from Washington County Community Foundation is very generous, the Class is seeking additional funding through additional grants, corporate outreach, events, and personal donations in order to purchase the ADA playground equipment and to fully implement the playground.
If you're interested in donating to the project, please contact Allison Duff at 812-620-3628.
