2020 Community Engagement Award

PHILLIPS Programs is pleased to announce that we are honoring three organizations with our Community Engagement Award this year: KaBOOM!, The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation, and Marriott International work in partnership to achieve their mission to build playgrounds across the country that enable all kids to play more in order to address the problems of rising childhood obesity, weakening academic performance, prevalence of childhood depression, and behavioral issues for children who do not have access to safe places to play. In the spring of 2019, this partnership built a new playground at PHILLIPS School~Laurel! 

Check out the time lapse video of PHILLIPS School~Laurel's playground build day! It's amazing what 250 volunteers can accomplish in under 6 hours!
