A while ago, you\u00a0learned about Stephanie Beaudoin’s mission: to give\u00a0sure\u00a0the students at The Education Cooperative recess<\/a><\/span>. Stephanie and her team \u00a0used Qgiv’s peer-to-peer fundraising platform to put on their first p2p event… and they had some pretty astounding results.<\/p>\n

When we wrote the last update, The Education Cooperative had raised more than $7,000 — more than $2,000 more than their original goal. The organization\u00a0raised more than $12,000!<\/p>\n

The Education Cooperative’s supporters went above and beyond to make sure the students had a playground that is accessible to everybody. Here’s an update from Stephanie:<\/p>\n

The playground is built! It was a whirlwind at the end of the school year, but it’s open for our students! It opened just in time for our summer program and they played on it every day! It’s amazing. I can hear the drum panel from my office, and I often get up and peek out the window… We surpassed our overall fundraising goal right at the end and we were able to install a sensory garden this summer to enhance the playspace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out these pictures of the kids on the playground!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
