Why the Idaho Playground Project Matters
Play is a basic human right. It fuels childhood development- physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally. But for too many kids, especially those with disabilities, playgrounds can be a place of exclusion rather than joy.
That’s where the Idaho Playground Project steps in. Their mission is simple yet powerful: give every child equal access to play experiences through playgrounds, toys, books, and games.
Here’s why that mission is worth supporting:
Every Child Deserves a Place to Belong
Inclusive playgrounds create safe, welcoming spaces where children with and without disabilities can play side by side.Accessibility Is Expensive—but Necessary
Adaptive playground equipment often comes with high costs that schools and cities struggle to fund. This project helps bridge that gap, making inclusion possible.Community Benefits Go Beyond the Playground
When children play together, they learn empathy, teamwork, and understanding—values that ripple outward, strengthening the entire community.

The Bottom Line
The Great Potato Days Ford Truck Giveaway is about more than winning a new truck—it’s about driving real impact. By supporting the Idaho Playground Project, every ticket sold helps build playgrounds where all kids can laugh, climb, and play together.
So this year, when you think about Potato Days, think about more than spuds and sunshine. Think about inclusion. Think about community. And maybe—just maybe—think about what it would feel like to drive home in a brand-new Ford truck, knowing you helped make Idaho a better place for every child.
