The Rotary Club of Chatham has completed paying a $250,000 pledge to the Children's Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent (CTC) Foundation.
On Monday, the club delivered the final $80,000 installment for the Build #ForTheKids initiative, ensuring that a new accessible playground can be built.
"We couldn't be more thrilled to deliver the final piece of our commitment to this meaningful project," said Tania Sharpe, outgoing President of the Rotary Club of Chatham. "Creating welcoming, accessible spaces where children can play and thrive aligns perfectly with our mission of giving back to our community."
The investment means that the playground is now fully funded.
According to the CTC, the playground design will reflect the centre's dedication to inclusivity and care.
"It will be a welcoming, accessible space," a release from the CTC Foundation said, adding that the planned 55,000-square-foot "Butterfly Building" will be the same.
"One in five children in Chatham-Kent depends on CTC's services," explained Mike Genge, CTC Foundation President. "The completed Rotary contribution signifies more than financial support - it embodies hope and connection for the children we serve."
