FANS 4 HELP 2021 Year Calendar Collection and Fundraiser for Health, Environment, Learning and Play.

Some of the most fun I had growing up, was on a playground. Of course, I played on swings, slides, seesaws and monkey bars, but the most fun was playing games and sports with my peers, other children and adults. Through these activities, I learned how to interact with others in more social, emotional, cognitive and physical ways, while using our imaginations and creativity.  As Mr. Fred Rogers said, "Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning" and Albert Einstein said,"Play is the highest form of research." 

Then professionally, I got a BA in Psychology and worked as a Child Care Specialist, Recreation Therapist and a PA Child Care Health and Safety Inspector.  I inspected over 2,000 playgrounds in child care facilities, schools, parks, communities and served as a Certified Playground Safety Inspector and a Keystone Stars Playground Safety Trainer. Still at age 70, I still enjoy playing sports and games of all sorts. As George Bernard Shaw said, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.” 

Therefore, with FANS 4 HELP, I hope to help people of all ages have safer and more beneficial play and learning opportunities everywhere.

With the help of some of my trusted and quality suppliers, FANS 4 HELP will be able to arrange the drop shipment to any address in the USA the necessary products to empower anyone to design and build safer and more beneficial play and learning opportunities, such as sandboxes, never-ending balance beams, accessible gardens, safety barrier gardens, fitness stations, Gaga Ball pits and more. This can be done most any place and anytime.

The purpose of FANS 4 HELP can be found in our name which is an acronym for everything important in play and learning.  FANS stands for Fitness, Arts, Nature and Science. Also, FANS stands for Fun, Accessible, Nuturing and Safe. Then, HELP stands for Health, Environment, Learning and Play.  Plus, with our quality and cost effective products, this can be done in a very equitable, social, economic and environmentally beneficial way. By using recycled products and by helping to build safe and long lasting gardens, we can help our environment while connecting everyone with the growing of organic foods, learning about nature and creating healthier lifestyles.
