Pirate Playground Campaign
Pirate Playground Campaign
In the fall of 2023, the Pirate Playground campaign set sail. Recognizing that all children deserve the opportunity to play—and that play is essential to childhood development—the Alburnett Foundation helped raise funds for an inclusive, ADA-accessible playground designed for children of all abilities to enjoy. The ADA-friendly playground was estimated to cost between $250,000 and $500,000.

“Back the Track” Campaign
The Back the Track campaign funded the majority of the Martin Complex development through community fundraising, grants, and donations. The total project investment approached $1 million, made possible by generous individual donors, local businesses, grants, and countless volunteer hours. Donors were able to symbolically support the project by “buying meters” of the track through tax-deductible contributions.
