Help Us Fund 3 Community Playgrounds in Blue Ridge Communities!

FRIENDS is raising money for three community playgrounds. Help us with a natural playground at the Blue Ridge Children's Museum in Waynesboro, a nature-themed playground at Explore Park in Roanoke County, as well as provide fencing for Britni Discovery Park in Hillsville.
