We're building special playgrounds for kids with disabilities.

Every child needs outdoor physical play.

But some of the children who need it most, kids with disabilities, miss out because they simply don't have suitable playground facilities, Since 2001 we have raised funds to build specially designed "all abilities" playgrounds for children in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Our commitment is to build at least one new "all abilities" play facility annually.

Striking Out Injuries in Youth Baseball

Dr. Joseph Chandler—Executive Director of the Resurgens Charitable Foundation and Director of Medical Services Emeritus for the Atlanta Braves—narrates a new DVD, "Striking Out Injuries in Youth Baseball," which premiered January 10 at the Little League Baseball Annual Leadership Conference. The video features injury prevention tips and recommendations from baseball legends Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, former Braves organization player and youth trainer Nick Crocker, and Resurgens Head Athletic Trainer Mark Wentworth.

If We Had Your Help, We Could Do Even More!

Future projects for the Foundation include:

• Increase the number of "all abilities" playgrounds
• Support of Physical Education in our local schools
• Expansion of the Youth Baseball Safety Conference
• Physician continuing medical education relating to sports injuries and steroid abuse.

Why Playgrounds?

At Resurgens, we work with enough kids to realize that play is essential "therapy" to help young people grow stronger and healthier. Every child needs outdoor physical play. But some children who need it most, kids with disabilities, miss out because they simply don't have suitable facilities. Everyone needs a place to play, help level the playing field for kids with disabilities.
