Help So Kids Can Build a Playground!

by RedBirdie on Aug 30, 2011 5:45 PM EDT

There's finally a date to build the playground for Mike Green's So Kids Can! It will take place on Thursday, Sept. 15, from 8 am to 3 pm, at ARE Inc., 45 P Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001. Breakfast, lunch, and a t-shirt will be provided.

I know that's a less-than-ideal date for most of us, but I'm going to do my best to get that day off, and I hope to see many of our So Kids Can contributors there, too!

To sign up, or get more info, visit this page on the Caps website.

Wondering what So Kids Can is? Check out our 2010-2011 kick-off post and be sure to see all the end result of all that pledging in the wrap up!

And I have super exciting news about the 2011-2012 Pledge drive to unveil soon! I hope you'll be able to join us!

Extra special thanks to everyone who participated in the So Kids Can Pledge Drive:

Great work, RB. Wish I could get that day off, but it won’t even be remotely possible. Take pictures, please.

Terrifically juvenile.

I signed up! Hopefully someone else will so I won’t be by my lonesome.

Birdie, thanks for posting this!

Nice to see this is happening. If I was near by I’d be there.
