Habersham has already shown incredible support for a project that will make a lasting difference for local families—and now there’s a simple way everyone can help bring it even closer to reality.
The nonprofit Price to Play Inc. has been working to build an inclusive playground where children of all abilities can play together. Since launching the effort last year, the organization has raised about $650,000 toward its $850,000 goal.
Now, the project has a chance to receive an additional $25,000 in playground equipment through the Kiwanis International Legacy of Play Contest—and winning depends largely on community votes.
How You Can Help
Supporters can vote for the project online, and it only takes a minute. Even better, you can vote once every day until March 17.
Here’s how to cast your vote:
- Visit the contest page:
https://www.kiwanis.org/legacy-of-play-contest/ - Scroll down and click “Submit or view contest entries here.”
- Scroll until you find “Price to Play Inc. Demorest Springs.”
- Click the entry.
- Click the heart icon next to the vote count.
- Enter your email address when prompted.
- You will receive a verification code by email.
- Enter the code on the voting page and click “Sign In.”
If the number next to the heart increases, your vote has been counted.
Vote Daily
After the first day, voting becomes even easier. Returning voters can simply click the heart again each day without repeating the entire sign-in process.
Every vote helps the project climb the leaderboard and improves its chances of winning the $25,000 prize.
A Playground for Everyone
The planned playground in Demorest is designed to be fully inclusive, meaning children with disabilities and mobility challenges will be able to play alongside their peers. Inclusive playgrounds include specialized equipment, accessible surfaces, and thoughtful design so all children can participate.
For the volunteers behind Price to Play Inc., the community’s support has already been overwhelming. Winning this contest would provide a major boost as they work toward the final fundraising goal.
