the country. Equipment came in sections and volunteers
pieced together the climbing bars, slides, decorative walls
and other contraptions of childhood fun. Davey's partnership
with FirstEnergy made the volunteer opportunity possible.
"KaBOOM! is a great organization that is doing good things
in communities, so we were more than happy to help
out," said Mike Ashe. "Those guys know how to build a
playground. I wish I had had one like it when I was a kid."
MISSION
"A day like this, I know that this is my Davey Tree,"
Muchmore said. "The entire process has been a joy,
from developing the client into a genuine relationship and
then being able to give back to them. Volunteering is a way
to recognize and thank those veterans that have sacrificed
and served our community."
