The BVC Playground Build celebrates it's 10th year!!!!

                   
Thanks to the organization, vision and efforts of the BVC, Carolina Panthers, more than 50 additional represented donating partners and over 100 volunteers, the 10th annual playground build of 2012 was a wonderful success. The rain and mud did not detour the job at hand. And with only the day to accomplish the build of the new playground the task ahead would go on as scheduled.

Paw Creek Elementary School was the chosen recipient of the new playground for 2012 and the dedicated foremen, donating partners and volunteers that get involved, many of which return year after year, did not disappoint.

On April 25th, the work site volunteers start off this messy, dreary and rainy morning with calisthenics to get loosened up for the work that lay shortly ahead. Once the warm up session concluded each volunteer located their work teams and the organized chaos began.

Before the day ends more than 200 – 50 lb. bags of Sakrete Fast Setting Concrete Mix that was donated by Sakrete, Inc. had been poured as setting material for the polls of this playground and thanks to our sister company Oldcastle Lawn and Garden for their contribution as 2700 bags of Soft Landing Mulch had been delivered and placed at a 12 inch depth throughout the entire site of the play area.
Along with these in-kind material donations, the Sakrete Sack program, which partners with the Carolina Panthers, donated $3,500 to the BVC for this 10th annual playground build.

In less than eight hours a new playground had been erected and by the end of the school day the playground site was ready for the school administrators, teachers, and children of Paw Creek Elementary to see as they made their way home.



This is a powerful day, full of energy and fun. The Sakrete Team looks forward to this event every year.

The enthusiasm that is felt among these volunteers is unexplainable and the completion of this playground build and the delivery of it in less than 8 hours is nothing short of magical as more than 100 volunteers work in a limited space. 

Get out and get involved!!     Your community needs you!!


As part of the 10th year celebration representatives from the BVC shared with the crowd of volunteers a very special letter they received in honor of their continued work supporting the Annual Playground Build.
