Help Galena Elementary Build an Inclusive Playground
Together, we can create a space where every child can play, belong, and thrive.
Play should be for everyone, but inclusion requires investment.
Right now, not every student at Galena Elementary can safely enjoy the playground. For children with mobility sensory, or development differences, our current space limits their ability to play, connect, and be included.
Our Vision
We’re building a new, fully inclusive playground designed with accessible equipment, safe surfacing, and sensory-friendly features that welcome every child.
This isn’t just a playground. It’s a place where empathy grows, friendships form, and all children are free to be themselves.
Our Fundraising Goal
To bring this vision to life, we’re raising $150,000 to qualify for a matching grant—which could double our impact.
Your support today helps us fund:
-
Inclusive playground equipment
-
Accessible surfacing
-
Installation, site prep, and more
Reaching this goal means we could break ground on the new playground soon—ensuring every child has a place to play together.

What We’ve Done So Far
Joe Corbi’s
Support our playground while stocking up on delicious pizzas, cookie dough, and more! A portion of every sale goes directly towards our playground fund.

Jingle Bell Run
Watch as our kids lace up their sneakers and get festive! This run is the perfect way to celebrate the season while giving our students a place to play all year long.
But to reach $150K–and secure the matching grant–we need your help.
Let’s Take the Next Step Together!
This playground is about more than swings and slides. It’s about giving every child the chance to play, grow, and feel like they belong. With your help, we can make this vision a reality—and we’re so close.
