On July 9, after more than two years of fundraising and planning, the Brighton Aktion Club and Brighton Kiwanis Club cut the ribbon on a Sway-Fun Inclusive Glider and added it to the Brighton Kiwanis Playground located behind Town Hall in the town of Brighton.
This glider represents one of the first pieces of truly inclusive playground equipment in a public park in Monroe County, and allows wheelchair-bound children and able children to play together.
The Brighton Aktion Club first came up with the idea for a piece of inclusive playground equipment, and then held a year-long fundraiser selling more than $2,000 worth of hand-crafted magnets. The Brighton High School Key Club and the University of Rochester Circle K members (along with Brighton Kiwanis members) aided the Aktion Club in this endeavor.
