Boys & Girls Club "Kaboom Playground in a Day" BBQ in Oceano

It never seizes to amaze me on how the people of this great country give back so much to their local communities. On December 10th, 2011 over 200 volunteers, from PG&E, Boys & Girls Clubs of South San Luis Obispo County, organizers from KaBOOM! and residents of the local community came together and built the PG&E "Kaboom Playground in a Day" at the Boys & Girls Club in Oceano, California. The new playground’s design is based on drawings created by children who participated in a Design Day event in October. The new playground will provide more than 2,900 children in the South San Luis Obispo County community with a safe place to play and help the BCG SLOC to better engage its local community in family-oriented programs.

Although there was a lot of work put into this project prior to the one day build, it was still amazing too see this all come together on a mild sunny day in December. Executive Director Moyses Muguira and his staff put in many early mornings and long hours to make this great project come together. Thank you Moyses and crew!! Also, a special thanks to our Kiwanis of Greater Pismo Beach for providing the great Tri-Tip sandwich BBQ and donating over $8,000 to cover other costs not covered by organizations.
