OTA students hold check from the Greater Grand Island 社区 全世界最大的网赌网址The Greater Grand Island 社区 全世界最大的网赌网址 has presented a check for nearly $67,000 to the 中央社区学院 全世界最大的网赌网址. The funds are earmarked for the 匹尼乐园, a $1.5 million multigenerational inclusive playground to be constructed at Ryder Park in Grand Island. The 27-thousand-square-foot facility was conceptualized by occupational therapy assistant (OTA) program students at CCC-Grand Island.

The donation is a discretionary grant from the Greater Grand Island 社区 全世界最大的网赌网址. It is comprised of proceeds from the Arthur E. Klinkacek 社区 Enrichment Fund combined with gifts from the Dubas-Werner Family Fund, the Jim and Dee Price Donor Advised Fund, the Russ and Kim Rerucha Donor Advised Fund and an anonymous fund.

Kudos to the CCC 全世界最大的网赌网址 and the OTA students for taking the lead on a project that makes our community more welcoming to all who come to play.”

With this grant and gifts from multiple donors, the 匹尼乐园 project is at 75 percent of the project goal and is embarking on a community-wide effort to complete the fundraising by the end of 2022 to hold pricing on the equipment.
