Nannie J. Lee Recreation Center had a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the same day of Spring2Action, Wednesday, April 25.
During Spring2Action on April 25, the families and staff of the Nannie J. Lee Recreation Center as well as many others in the city helped raise over $9,000 for the Kelley Cares Foundation. The foundation has supported the Therapeutic Recreation program and other programs offered at the center since 2005. Last year over $10,000 was raised to purchase roller skates, hoverboards, scooters, helmets and pads. These items are considered part of the new “All Things on Wheels” program at the center, enhancing the fine and gross motor skills, balance, physical fitness and hand eye coordination of the participants in the programs. This year’s donations will go towards purchasing new adaptive playground equipment for the Nannie J. Lee playground. The center provides full inclusion summer camps, after-school programs, adaptive activities and special events year-round. To volunteer at the center, register for summer camp or donate, call 703-746-5535.
