With support from Dr Pepper Snapple Group, KaBOOM! is awarding grants of $750 to communities that wish to make their playgrounds cleaner, safer, and more inviting.

Selected communities will receive a $750 gift card to further enhance or improve their playspace. Gift cards also can be used to refill the playground’s wood fiber playground surfacing.

Applications will be accepted throughout the year; however the priority deadline is October 15, 2011.
