APRIL 09

Baker Concrete Construction, Inc. is working on a project in Mobile Alabama.  Dana Furlong, Baker Safety Manager, contacted Jefcoat Recreation and Construction looking for information about playground equipment for the Salvation Army serving Saraland Alabama.  You see, Baker Concrete likes to leave a mark on the community they work in.  And they are no stranger to giving back to the communities.  I checked out there web site at www.bakerconcrete.com and I was amazed at their volunteer efforts.  Dana had his eye on the Salvation Army because they are in dire need of play equipment.  There need became Dana’s and Baker Concrete’s project for the Mobile area.  When he asked Jefcoat Recreation what we could do to assist the team at Baker to get a playground at the Salvation Army, there was only one answer, “Whatever you need Dana”.

Dana and his co-workers have passed a hat for collections among his co workers at Baker and others at the job site in Mobile. Their goal is $20,000 to purchase  

Note from Dana on 4/20…I just wanted to touch base with and let you that we held our first round of fund raising this AM and had a pretty good return…  We are still a good ways away from our goal obviously, but would like to touch base with you in order to determine a poss’ end goal. 

Thanks,

Dana V. Furlong

UPDATE 11/09

Today, we have completed the design and order for The Salvation Army in Saraland, AL.  The order is just in time to see the delivery for Christmas.  What better gift of LOVE than to give a child a SMILE.  It was a long road, but the determination and passion for this project has paid off.  Way to go guys. 

Keep tabs on the progress of this project as we make a difference in a child’s life. Pictures will be posted as soon as the equipment goes in.
