Let Them Be Kids

Let Them Be Kids is all volunteer non-profit organization created to build community capacity on the grassroots level, while building playgrounds, skate parks and fitness parks across Canada. These projects leave a legacy of community members who are inspired and better equipped to lay a strong foundation for a brighter tomorrow.

Once the Southfork Playground was formed, we approached the City Of Leduc. Doing some research we applied for an award from Let Them Be Kids (LTBK) & Kool-Aid. Three weeks ago we found out we were the first recipient!! 

LTBK with Kool-Aid gave $5000 cash towards equipment cost as seed money. We also receive a 60/40 split. 60% is the community, and LTBK & Kool-Aid cover 40% of the equipment cost. The Southfork Playground Committee needs to raise $20,000 by May 1st! If you would like to join our efforts, or donate please click on the Join The Effort button.
