WHAT: On Saturday, June 25th, Sullivan Tire and Auto Service will return to its roots in Rockland, MA, where it was first founded in 1955, to build an eco-friendly playground in conjunction with Yokohama Tire Corporation (YTC) as part of YTC’s partnership with KaBOOM!- the national non-profit dedicated to ensuring that all kids get a childhood filled with the balanced and active play needed to thrive. The Rockland Park Department, Play Areas for Rockland Kids (P.A.R.K.) and approximately 200 volunteers from the community will also join in erecting the playground at Hartsuff Park in Rockland.
“We’re honored to work with Paul Sullivan and the Sullivan Tire team on this playground build, which will bring kids in Rockland a fun, safe place to play,” said Alan Holtschneider, director of marketing for Yokohama. “Sullivan Tire has been a fixture in the area for more than 60 years and is known for constantly giving back to the community. This new playground will benefit kids and their families for years to come.”
Yokohama, Sullivan Tire and KaBOOM! have already met with local parents and their children to help design the playground and pick out color schemes and equipment for the kids to play on, including new environmentally safe, “Cradle to Cradle”-certified playground apparatuses from Playworld Systems.
WHO: Representatives from Sullivan Tire, Yokohama, KaBOOM!, the Rockland Park Department and P.A.R.K., State Senator John Keenan, State Representative David DeCoste, Larry Ryan, Vice Chair of the Rockland Board of Selectmen, and Michael Mullen, Rockland Board of Selectmen will be on site and are available for comment and photos.
