Teammates for Kids Foundation
The Child Life Zone is made possible by a generous endowment from Garth Brooks’ Teammates for Kids Foundation, which provided funding for the construction of the Zone. Teammates is a network of over 4,700 professional athletes that donate based on their performance. 100% of the money raised goes to children's charities with all overhead costs being paid by the members of the organization's board.
This project was also made possible by Kitchell and its subcontractors who generously donated time and services towards making the project a reality.
