Playground Makeover in Broad Channel

The Gene Gray Playground has been chosen as a grand prize winner of KFC’s Li’l Playground Makeover Facebook Contest! As part of KFC’s new Li’l Bucket Kids Meal launch, educators, administrators and community members from all around the country were invited to enter the contest in hopes of winning a makeover for their school/local community playground. Nominated by Broad Channel resident who wanted to make a difference in her community, Gene Gray Playground is among 5 lucky winners from across the nation. The $11,000 grant will be used to rebuild the parks infrastructure, which was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. KFC is thrilled to help make a difference for the children of Broad Channel and provide a space where kids can be kids again!
