The Costa Mesa City Council has approved the construction of the city’s first playground for the disabled. The $1.4-million project at TeWinkle Park will be funded through a grant from the state Parks and Recreation Department and private fundraising by the Angels Charity nonprofit.
Costa Mesa will also contribute approximately $200,000 to the project, said Doug Hansen, who founded Angels Charity with his wife, Jennifer, in 2003.

(there's not much more, it was a very short article).
Another tidbit from the article:
- The Hansens started the nonprofit after their daughter Angel’s second birthday. Angel, born with birth defects, is the inspiration for both the charity and the project.
- The website for Angel's Charity is here: http://www.angelscharity.com/
