Volunteer Opp - Kaboom Build Day

Kaboom Build Day

Thanks to Eli Lilly and Kaboom, School 31 is scheduled to have a new playground installed on Wednesday, May 20th. BHNA contributed $1000 toward this effort and is trying to assist in helping and recruiting volunteers. Here is how you can help:

Volunteer -
Kaboom is looking for 20-30 people to assist on Monday, May 18th with unloading the trucks and preparing the site for Build Day.

Kaboom looking for as many volunteers as possible for Wednesday, May 20th.

Kaboom is looking for eight team leader who could participate both days.

There will be work for all ages and capabilities. If you want to help, Kaboom will plug you in.

If you can help on either of these days, please confirm your participation with me asap.

Kaboom is also looking for a volunteer coordinator to keep track of volunteers.

Food

Kaboom needs five folks to assist with setup, serving, and clean up with food on the May 20th.

Kaboom is also looking for food contributions. If you or your business is able to help in any way, let me know asap.

This is an exciting development for our community. Thanks as always for making our neighborhood a better place!

Volunteer Opp - KABOOM

Help Build Playgrounds for Schools 31 & 39

Hello Everyone! As you may be aware, School #39 (1733 Spann Ave.) in the SECO neighborhood was selected to receive a new Kaboom playground. Lilly is the corporate funding partner and is providing 175 volunteers on their May 20th Day of Service to build the playground. SEND is the lead community partner and we are coordinating the project locally. We are working with SECO on recruiting an additional 75 community volunteers. Which is where you come in! If any of you would be able to volunteer to help build the playground on May 20th or help out on prep day May 18th, please let me know. Breakfast and lunch are provided. I’ve outlined details below:
  • We need general volunteers on prep day May 18th to help unload the trucks, inventory supplies and prep site from 8am-4pm
  • We need Build Captains to manage a team of 10-20 volunteers for May 20th, Build Captains need to attend prep day on May 18th which is when they will receive training
  • We need general volunteers to help build the playground on May 20th

There is also a Kaboom playground being installed at School #31 in Bates Hendricks with Lilly on May 20th. We may direct some volunteers to that project depending on need. The dates and times are the same.

These are great opportunities for the Southeast and we appreciate any support you can provide. If you are interesting in helping out with this project, but can’t volunteer please contact me at jrice@sendcdc.org.

Thanks!!
