Continuing what is expected to become an annual tradition, NBAA once again partnered with the nonprofit organization KaBOOM to build an aviation-theme playground for local kids. On Saturday, more than 250 NBAA members and community residents volunteered their services to construct the playground at the Hollowbrook Apartments near Orlando Executive Airport, the site of this year’s NBAA static display.
Last year, in honor of NBAA’s 60th anniversary, NBAA first worked with KaBOOM–whose mission is to put a playground within walking distance of every child in America–at an elementary school in Atlanta near Fulton County Airport. In both cases, outdated playground equipment was removed and the site was prepared beforehand. Play equipment delivered to the site was assembled and installed by the NBAA volunteers in an effort to build a bridge between business airports and the communities that surround them.
