Donations to Can’d Aid’s Berthoud Adaptive Park Project to be matched up to $100k

BERTHOUD — Donations made to Can’d Aid’s Berthoud Adaptive Park Project, which will build the first adaptive public playground in Berthoud, will be matched up to $100,000 through May 19. 

The Berthoud Adaptive Park will provide access to healthy activities for children in the area. The project was inspired by Lauren and Richard Bowling, parents of 5-year-old Braxton and 4-year-old twins Mack and Miles. Miles experienced traumatic brain injury due to oxygen deprivation during childbirth and is unable to stand or walk by himself.

The closest Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible playground to the Bowling family is 40 minutes away from their home in Berthoud. The goal of the fundraiser is to assist the family and the project developers to bring accessibility and inclusion closer to home for residents in Northern Colorado.

WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.

Will Edwards, a Colorado developer who has helped guide the planning and design of the park, recently announced he will match donations for the park through the Bowling twins’ fifth birthday on May 19. The fundraiser seeks to raise $800,000. 

“We have spent the last several months planning an inclusive space for children in the area and this project is very close to my heart,” Edwards said in a prepared statement. “The community will benefit from this project for a long time. I feel grateful for the opportunity to help bring this accessible park to Berthoud and the surrounding area.”
