We are grateful to Peggy Gerkin for her outstanding generosity in supporting the playground project! As an exceptional community member, her contribution will have a lasting impact. We hope her grandkids, along with the rest of the kiddos, will cherish the park for years to come.

Thank you Mitchell Community, for your continued generosity!

We can do this, Mitchell! 💙
