Exercyse & Ames miracle playground and field fundraiser



For the month of March, until April 7th, we will be donating 70% of money we raise to the Ames Miracle Playground and Field and the other 30% will go towards our EIM outreach programs. The Miracle Playground and Field is an all-inclusive playground that will be built in Inis Grove Park for those with physical disabilities. There are currently over 1,000 children with special needs in the Story County schools, and this park will give them the play time they deserve! As an organized fundraiser for the Ames Miracle Playground and Field, we will be raffling off prizes collected from the ISU and Ames community.
