Niu Valley Playground again in running for $25,000 on-line contest
The Pepsi Refresh Project has selected the Niu Valley Community Association’s idea “A playground where kids can enjoy unbridled play & adults work out!” for a chance to receive a $25,000 Pepsi Refresh Project Grant. Last month, the Association’s playground design became a top 10 finalist, beating out 50 other communities’ designs, to win $15,000 in a social media contest from the Dr Pepper Snapple Group and national non-profit KaBOOM!.
"Hawaii has shown that it has a vibrant social media network that will flex its muscle to get behind a good cause", said Peter Kay, the Association’s Vice Chair, "This is not the first time that Hawaii's online community has won an online contest and it's gratifying that as a community, we can successfully compete at a national level."
