iParticipate: KaBoom! Playground



Over 200 volunteers including ESPN college football analysts were in Alhambra, CA on Tuesday and amazingly built a 25,000 square foot playground in under eight hours.

Working with the non-profit group KaBoom! volunteers with the YMCA of the West San Gabriel Valley and The Home Depot began construction around 7 a.m. With some help from Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard of ESPN College Gameday, the job was done Tuesday afternoon.

The $67,000 project was organized by KaBoom! with major funding by The Home Depot.
