The donation, which includes 8,200 square feet of Pinnacle Rubber Mulch for landscaping and 4,400 square feet of Smarte playground safety surfacing, was used to help build a new playground at The Children’s Inn at NIH (The National Institute of Health) on July 23. “We’re pleased to work with KaBOOM! to help create a safe and accessible playground for the children and families who stay at The Children’s Inn at the National Institute of Health,” said Brad Pittam, general manager of LTR Products, a subsidiary of Liberty Tire Recycling. “The Smarte Surface System made with Pinnacle Rubber Mulch helps protect kids from playground falls and the Pinnacle Rubber Mulch used in landscaping around the playground will ensure the area remains low maintenance and great looking for years to come.” The Children’s Inn at NIH is a nonprofit residence on the campus of the NIH where families stay free of charge while their children participate in groundbreaking biomedical research. Families travel from across the country and around the world to stay together with their children at the inn. Some spend a few days, others months. While the NIH cares for a child’s medical needs, the inn cares for the family’s heart, soul and spirit. More than 10,000 children have stayed since the inn opened in 1990. About 1,500 families stay each year.
