Community Raises over $1.5 Million for LEO’s Haven

It is with gratitude, the Santa Cruz Playground Project is happy to report over $1.5 million has been raised in private funding for LEO’s Haven at Chanticleer Park within the past 20 months. Due to the tremendous support of the Santa Cruz County community we are closer than ever to reaching the $1.9 million capital campaign goal by this summer!

Thank you to all who have volunteered your time, energy, talents, and financial support for this very worthy cause: the right of every child to play at a playground.

We know the remaining funding is out there; it is simply a matter of tracking it down! If you have any contacts, leads, or ideas for securing the remaining funding please contact Santa Cruz Playground Project Founder, Tricia Potts, at potts.tricia@gmail.com.

The sooner the remaining funding is found the sooner our children are able to play at LEO’s Haven.
