On Wednesday, October 16, 2024, Waukee Betterment Foundation awarded Can Play with $500 to help with licensing its adapted programs in communities so that they can provide year round adapted recreational sports opportunities to kids living with special healthcare needs. Can Play will work directly with Waukee Parks and Recreation to train staff and thus expanding the parks and recreation opportunities to the more than 1,000 kids living in Waukee and surrounding communities with physical, cognitive and emotional needs.
Can Play’s mission is to empower individuals with physical, cognitive or emotional disabilities as well as those with chronic health conditions and autism. Their commitment is to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone has an opportunity to play with no limits.
This donation and others like it are made possible through the generous support of our Endowment Fund donors. Donating to the Waukee Betterment Foundation Endowment, hosted by the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, allows the community to give in a way that provides long-term support for organizations and projects across Waukee and Dallas County.
