WHY: INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION

WHAT ARE WE DOING: WE ARE BUILDING THE "127" PLAYGROUND

The “127” represents the 127 acres that has been defined as our neighborhood. Our desire is to develop these 127 acres into a safe environment into undeserved and marginalized communities. This environment will allow a place for intergenerational play and recreation into our neighborhoods.

We stand at the threshold of a new era, where the dreams and aspirations of the next generation will shape our future. Today, we proudly proclaim our commitment to the children and youth of tomorrow—our future leaders, innovators, and change makers.

We are asking 1 million people who want to invest in the next generation to donate $1.00 to this project.

        What is it? 

    A  community (Xenia,Ohio)who helps each other to  focus and engage in our our neighborhood.The “127” represents

the 127 acres that has been defined as our neighborhood.       

   It’s an ideology that clarifies our focus to prioritize energy and resources to the 127 by adding value and ingaging the community in very practical ways.                     

  Building relationships with the next

generation, especially children, are the

key doorways into each home to discover their greatest needs and break down relational barriers.                   

 It’s a partnership with our neighbors to add   value and resources to every situation in our neighborhood by our 3 core values:                 

     Community- Where I belong
     Connection- Where I get resources

     Cultivation- Where I grow

     Contribution-Where we give our Talents & Treasures

    Some of the 127’s greatest needs:

    Underserved and Marginalized Community 

    Many    Social/Economical Challenges: 

    Mental Health &  Addiction
    Crime/Security & Abuse Trauma
    Food Insecurities
    Affordable Housing
    Job Training and Placement &

    Lack of Recreation           
    Childcare
