Keurig Dr Pepper and KaBOOM! Award Providence Serving People Let’s Play Construction Grant

AKRON, OHIO (August 15th, 2018) ‒ Keurig Dr. Pepper (KDP) and the national non-profit KaBOOM! awarded Providence Serving People Inc. a Let’s Play Community Construction Grant that will be used to build a playground
on the West Side of Akron at the Providence Baptist Church Campus.

The playground build is made possible by Let’s Play, an initiative by KDP to provide the funding, equipment and play spaces to help kids and families make active play a daily priority. Through Let’s Play, KDP and its partners are
committed to helping create safe and inspiring PLAYces for Akron kids to learn, explore, grow and just be kids.

“We are excited to do something great for the community surrounding Providence Baptist Church and provide a safe place where kids can come and have fun” says Jason Edwards, chairman of Providence Serving People.

The grant will be used specifically for playground equipment. The playground will be built on the surrounding campus of Providence Baptist Church at 458 Madison Ave Akron Ohio 44320. Providence Serving People is
working hard to revive this community and the youth of this community deserve it.

KDP has committed $38.5 million to Let’s Play through 2019, impacting youth-serving organizations across the U.S., as well as Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. Through Let’s Play, KDP partners with two non-profit organizations, KaBOOM! and Good Sports, to build and improve playgrounds in underserved communities and provide grants for sports equipment. In this way, KDP is doing its part to help eliminate the play deficit by making
active play possible for more kids.
