Project Playground Shade
Help Challenge Charter School repair our playground and
purchase a new sun shade!
CCS Kids Need Your Help!
We all know that the Arizona weather can get dangerously hot and it is not good for our students to be exposed to the sun. That is why we need your help to raise the $25,000 it will take to repair the damage to our playground before the Arizona heat returns.

Violent winds in excess of 60 mph mangled the support beams beyond repair.
Track Our Progress!
Help us reach our goal of $25,000 by May 28, 2010!
