Kids in Pasadena, TX have a new playground AND a 171-foot long mural to enjoy. Check out this new installation at Pasadena Highlands Park, where we recently built a playground with the community and Hancock Whitney.

#sussexsquad is forever in our hearts. Your generosity will be fuel for our action as we unite with communities to build wonderful places for kids to play. Let all of our kids enjoy the magic of childhood. #playspaceequity can be achieved in our lifetime. Won’t stop…

If the playspaces we build aren’t places where kids feel like they can be themselves, our work won’t have as great an impact. As we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community this June, I want to emphasize @KABOOM’s commitment to creating safe and affirming playspaces for all.

We don't start any new schoolyard remodel without getting input from our most important designers—the students themselves. Check out some of the amazing ideas these students had for their new playground and nature exploration areas! #playspaceequity KABOOM! @ousdnews

It’s #ParkandRecMonth and we’re highlighting our incredible partners in the field. As part of our 25 Initiative, we’ve partnered with San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to address gaps in access to quality, nature-rich kid’s playspaces in communities that lack resources. #WhereCommunityGrows

Last night I attended a @cbcfinc reception hosted by @apple. I had a great time connecting with Congresswoman Nikema Williams, who is fighting for equity in Black communities in Atlanta & across the country, & discussing the ongoing work of KABOOM! in Atlanta through our 25 in 5 Initiative.
