Rams Set to Build New Playground at Elementary School in Inglewood
Posted 21 hours ago
Tiffany White Communications CoordinatorSpecial to therams.com
The Los Angeles Rams front office staff and players will converge upon Woodworth Elementary School to build a playground as part of the team’s annual community improvement project. The elementary school was selected to receive the playground after an open application process that allowed submissions from local schools, non-profits and communities in need. In addition to building the playground, the Rams will power wash the school and paint two murals. All equipment for the playground was provided by Playcraft Systems and Pacific Play Systems, the designer of the playground, will also be on hand to supervise the installation.
The Rams’ community improvement project is the cornerstone volunteer effort of the team’s “Staff Days of Service” program. Each month, the Rams close the office and spend time volunteering in the community. Since the program’s inception in 2009, the Rams’ staff has provided more than 11,000 hours of community service to local non-profits through the Staff Days of Service program.
