The CarMax Foundation launched a $4.1 million partnership with KaBOOM! to build 30 playgrounds across the U.S. by the end of 2015 that will benefit 100,000 children This partnership is part of The CarMax Foundation’s 10th anniversary and new focus on children’s healthy living. Associates expressed a desire to help today’s youth address the important issues of obesity and lack of physical activity. Only 1 in 5 children live within walking distance of a park or playground, and the incidence of childhood obesity increases 29% in neighborhoods without one. The play deficit is having profound consequences for kids physically, socially and cognitively, but children who participate in regular play build confidence, feel more connected to their community and perform better in the classroom.
