The Chicora-Cherokee community in North Charleston, SC will soon receive a fully funded playground that brings fitness and fun to neighborhood youth thanks to the generosity of Select Health of SC and the AmeriHealth Caritas Partnership.<\/p>\n

On Friday, November 22, these two organizations will install the playground on City of North Charleston property where the Chicora Place Community Garden currently resides. The neighborhood will benefit from a safe and welcoming social space that also happens to produce a variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs year round. In addition to the youth playground,we also have the opportunity to add outdoor fitness equipment for teens and adults.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, August 31st Chicora Place Community Garden will host an event and sell dinners and host local bands to help raise some of the $17,000 needed to make our outdoor gym a reality.<\/b><\/p>\n
The proposed outdoor gym includes the following 8 pieces of equipment:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Curved balance beam
\u00b7 Sit-up Station
\u00b7 Joint Use Chin-up Station
\u00b7 Seated Chest Press
\u00b7 Rowing Machine
\u00b7 Seated Leg Press
\u00b7 Elliptical Trainer
\u00b7 Double Cardio Walker<\/p>\n

In a community plagued with chronic health issues, this fitness equipment will transform unused space around our garden into a stunning new community fitness hub where fitness and fresh, healthy food are easily accessible. To realize this dream, your financial support is vital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you want to donate an international dish or know of a local band that is willing to donate their time, please get in touch – germaine.jenkins@gmail.com to work out the details. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
