In a heartwarming community effort, Wigglin’ Out Indoor Playground is celebrating its fifth year of operation by launching a donation drive in collaboration with the local nonprofit, Klothes 4 Kids. Throughout February, patrons are encouraged to contribute to this initiative aimed at supporting foster children. For each donation made, visitors receive a discount on admission, and a raffle for punch cards is also underway, with all proceeds benefiting the charity. The event underscores the playground's commitment to fostering a supportive environment while highlighting the ongoing efforts of Klothes 4 Kids.
The partnership between Wigglin’ Out Indoor Playground and Klothes 4 Kids reflects a shared dedication to improving the lives of vulnerable youth. Established by Nijel Murray when he was just 14 years old, Klothes 4 Kids has been providing essential clothing and resources to foster children since 2017. Inspired by the struggles his foster brother faced with ill-fitting clothes after leaving Child Haven, Murray initiated the organization to alleviate such hardships. Over the past few years, Klothes 4 Kids has grown significantly, now aiming to raise $100,000 for Project K4K. This ambitious project seeks to renovate and equip the Impact Building, which will serve as a hub for new clothing, vital resources, after-school job training programs, and empowering workshops for foster children.
Wigglin’ Out Indoor Playground is inviting the community to join hands in this charitable endeavor. During the month of February, anyone who brings a donation to the playground can enjoy a $5 discount on their all-day admission. Additionally, raffle tickets are available for purchase at $1 each, offering participants a chance to win one of five punch cards. The playground’s location at 9890 S Maryland Pkwy #12 ensures easy accessibility for potential donors. All funds raised through the raffle will go directly to Klothes 4 Kids, reinforcing the organization's mission to support foster children in need.
This collaborative effort not only celebrates Wigglin’ Out Indoor Playground's significant milestone but also highlights the importance of community involvement in addressing social issues. By combining fun activities with charitable giving, the playground hopes to inspire more people to contribute to the betterment of foster children's lives. Through this initiative, both organizations aim to create lasting positive change, ensuring that every child has access to the resources they need to thrive.
