Sakrete, Oldcastle Lawn & Garden Join Carolina Panthers to Build Local School Playground

In April, Sakrete and Oldcastle Lawn & Garden partnered with Charlotte Business Volunteer Council (BVC), Charlotte-Mecklenburg School (CMS) system and the Carolina Panthers to build a new playground for Bruns Avenue Elementary School.

The Bruns Avenue playground was the seventh annual playground installation for Charlotte BVC and CMS, and was designed by the students of Bruns Avenue. Seventy organizations and about 120 volunteers participated in the build, which raised about $50,000 ($15,000 in-kind donations). Sakrete donated 320 bags of Fast-Setting Concrete mix and enlisted the help of Panthers offensive guards Keydrick Vincent and Travelle Wharton for the playground equipment installation. Oldcastle Lawn & Garden donated 2,000 bags of mulch and enlisted the help of Panthers offensive guards Keydrick Vincent and Travelle Wharton for the playground equipment installation.
