Group Asks for Votes to Win Grant for Clark Co. Children’s Adventure Area

WINCHESTER, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Greater Clark Foundation (GCF,) a non-profit organization in Winchester, says that their project to build a playground has been named a finalist in the State Farm Neighborhood Assist $25,000 grant competition.

The “Children’s Adventure Area” would be a nearly two-acre playspace for area children, and part of a 30-acre green space planned by the GCF at the site of the former Clark Regional Medical Center.

The Clark County Children’s Adventure Area was one of more than 2,000 entries for the State Farm grant, and made the cut to the top 200 causes. GCF says they need the community’s help to win the $25,000 grant. People can vote up to 10 times a day until 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 4 for the project at this link: http://www.neighborhoodassist.com/entry/1984080

“We are honored that our project was selected as a finalist,” said Beth Jones, built environment program officer for GCF. “The grant would help us design a play space that is innovative and stimulates children for healthy development physically, socially, and intellectually.”

The Children’s Adventure Area will be designed with play spaces that focus on social, imaginative and problem solving skills.
