This episode features a discussion about the Can Do Playground initiative in Delaware, an amazing community project dedicated to building accessible playgrounds for children and families with disabilities.
Guests Jack Riddle (President of Community Bank) and Pete Booker (former President and CEO of Delmarva Broadcasting) share the history of the "Can Do" movement—which started over 20 years ago—and detail the ambitious plans for the fourth inclusive playground in the state, located at Hudson Park in Milton, Delaware.
Discover:
