RADFORD - PLAY (Parents Leading Active Youth) has already joined with the City of Radford in raising funds to build a new playground at Bisset Park, enjoyed by hundreds of children in the city.

Now, the group is on the move again, working to raise $40,000 to build a second phase of the playground, which is located adjacent to Shelter One in the park. They have launched their first fundraising effort for phase two, asking parents to donate their children’s Halloween costumes to the organization.

PLAY will be collecting Halloween costumes until the end of the year. Then, PLAY will have a pre-Halloween costume sale next year, with proceeds going to the purchase of the new playground equipment and providing parents with good deals on those ever-more expensive Halloween costumes at the same time.
