Project Title: Kids Club Play Awning
Project Description:

Adding an awning over a playspace is a practical solution that enhances the area’s safety and longevity. An awning protects children from excessive sun exposure by providing shade, reducing the risk of sunburns and overheating. With rising concerns about UV radiation, an adequately installed awning blocks harmful rays, allowing kids to play comfortably and safely, even during peak daylight hours.

An awning also offers year-round benefits. In colder months (e.g., October through April), it helps prevent ice buildup, making the ground safer for play by reducing slips and falls. This consistent accessibility encourages physical activity and social engagement, ensuring that the playground remains a vibrant hub for the community.

Total Project Budget: 10,245

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Patient revenue over several years will be allocated to cover the cost for the awning project.

Project Duration: April 2026-June 2026
Geographical Area Served: Bonner & Boundary Counties, Idaho
