Supporters of Harmony Playground are hopeful Giving Tuesday will mark the completion of fundraising for the project.

979XFM and KJ Country 102.3 are teaming up with Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation on a day-long fundraiser Tuesday to collect the final $100,000 needed to pay for the project. 

Since the poster to the right was developed, the amount needed has been reduced to $100,000.

Harmony Playground will be a facility accessible to all to be built along North Maple Street north of the Evergreen Hollow Park tennis courts, and east across the street from the Workman Sports and Wellness Complex. Supporters have come a long way from the initial fundraising goal of more than $700,000 and hope to collect the balance on Tuesday.

We will be broadcasting live from the Foudation offices on South Banker from 9 to 10am and from 3 to 4pm, and there will be live interviews at 12:30pm and 4:20pm along with other phone-in updates to let you know how the fundraising is progressing. 

If you drop by the Foundation offices on the way to school or work in the morning, you can get a free cup of coffee and donut and if you go by midday, you can get a free Smoothie King sample.
