AAOS 2013 Safe and Accessible Playground Build
![]() |
Chicago: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 Hundreds of AAOS members and volunteers helped transform the Faith Community of Saint Sabina in the Auburn-Gresham neighborhood of Chicago, Ill., and made the gift of a Safe and Accessible Playground Build a reality for a very deserving community so that children with and without disabilities can play safely together. For the past 14 years, the Academy has held a one-day volunteer build to kick off our Annual Meeting. We would like to continue to carry on that tradition with your help and could not do any of this without the generous support from our industry partners and the labors of our volunteers. Site beautification, clean up and other rewarding projects also are available for children of all ages and abilities! Thank you to the sponsors who have already pledged their support for the 2013 Safe and Accessible Playground build. |
