Seven Days Left in Match Madness

Fundraising
Battery Park Playground

3/31/25

There are just seven days left in Match Madness.  ONCOR has raised over $5k of our $10k goal.  Help us get to the championship game!  Please donate today.  If you've ever wondered if now is the right time to donate, now is the time! We need 50 more New Castle families to give $100 in our Match Madness campaign.

Thank you!

ONCOR is grateful to Patterson Schwartz, Andre & Lindsay Jerry, Ruth Eileen Freed, Ashleigh Holt, Michael Quaranta, Ray and Rainy Peden, Madilyn Tiberi, Michael and Linda Ratchford, and Anonymous for their generous donations.  We are now $5,720 closer to our goal!  ONCOR has raised $955,532 of the $1.2M budget to build an amazing accessible playground for all of our kids.

Accessible Playgrounds Are a Big Investment

Some folks, including us, were initially  shocked to learn the expense required to build an accessible playground.  ONCOR's market research shows that rubberized surfacing and a ramped structure - features that allow children in wheelchairs to access all the fun instead of just watching from the sidelines - double the cost compared to an inaccessible playground.  ONCOR thinks that investing in high-quality outdoor recreation for all of New Castle's children is worthwhile so that everybody can enjoy a place to play in their neighborhood.
