Run Carrollton Race Series

We are making this series even more involved with our local community through support of the Carrollton City Police and Fire Department. Each entity has chosen an organization that they want to raise fund and awareness. The fire department chose Alice's House, and the police department wants to raise money for the inclusive, special needs playground initiative.

Carrollton Police Department Charity: All Inclusive, Special needs playground initiative in Carrollton, GA
A new project is underway in Carrollton where everyone can prepare to join the fun. The All Ages and Abilities Park is a universally-accessible, all-inclusive playground that will be located at Hobb’s Farm. The park will be a safe play area for children and adults with or without disabilities and will have 100 percent accessibility for anyone with any type of disability. The surface of the playground is what will enable anyone with a mobility device to move around all portions of the playground without restrictions. 

The plan for the AAA Park is to have access ramps that are double in width, providing enough space for two-way travel on the ramp, so individuals can come and go at the same time. The surfacing will be pour-in-place rubber with playground turf.  There will be additions made to the existing bathrooms to include two electric powered, adult-sized changing tables. 

Construction does not have a set date to begin as the team must reach their budget of $2.5 million for the entire project. The City of Carrollton donated Hobbs Farms property for the project and will maintain the park once it is completed. The AAA Park Project is a 501(3)(c) organization established through the Community Foundation of West Georgia which is facilitating community donations towards the project. 

Carrollton Fire Department Charity:  Alice's House
Children come to Alice’s House for many reasons, including abuse, neglect and other challenging family situations. Our mission is to provide an environment in which these children can feel safe and thrive.

Alice’s House provides services based on the conviction that each youth in residence is an individual with the right to the kind of care that meets his or her needs. We believe it is important to preserve and strengthen each child’s family relationships whenever possible.

Most children are placed in Alice’s House by the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services. Priority is given to the youth of Carroll County.

You can give broadly to both or you can select the organization of choice.
