KaBoom! is a non-profit organization that has\u00a0partnered with Reedy Industries through the <a title=\"Reedy Cares\" href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/category\/reedycares\" target=\"_blank\">Reedy Cares<\/a> program for the past five years to build brand new playgrounds for less fortunate kids. The builds take place in areas that have never had a playground, where the nearest safe playgrounds are across busy streets and over 2 miles away.<\/p>\n<p>This year we will be building at St. Gull Catholic School in South Chicago on May 19, 2012. This playground will provide a safe play space for over 287 kids. Reedy Industries, <a title=\"KaBoom!\" href=\"http:\/\/kaboom.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">KaBoom!<\/a>, and the St. Gull community are devoted to creating a safe and fun environment for kids to play within walking distance of their homes.<\/p>\n<p>On planning day we gathered with 47 kids and 17 parents at St. Gull to decide on exactly what they wanted built. This process is very kid-oriented, and the group together was able to decide on 3 possible designs.<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, creating a playground from nothing is an impressive feat. In a single day, we will take an empty lot and turn it into a fully functional and safe playground. The effort will require 6 hours of hard work and 200 volunteers &#8211; at least 150 Reedy volunteers and at least 50 community volunteers. It is definitely a lot of work, but it is for a great cause.<\/p>\n<p>Parts Town hopes to have a great deal of involvement this year. We&#8217;re proud of the efforts of our Reedy Cares crew, and all they have accomplished over the years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parts Town&#8217;s Reedy Cares team member, Chris Reynolds, shares details of this year&#8217;s KaBoom! playground build: It is that time of year again &#8211; KaBoom! 2012 has begun.
