Lauderhill Named a KaBOOM City!!!


Congratulations! KaBOOM! has announced that Lauderhill has been selected as a 2010 Playful City USA community!

Lauderhill is one of 118 communities across 35 states to be recognized for their expressed commitment and willingness to take action for play.

The City of Lauderhill is very excited to celebrate their inclusion in such a large cohort of cities committed to play in 2010, the 4th year of the program. The City is joining a network that is facing the challenging national landscape of city budget shortfalls and the very real threat of the childhood obesity epidemic, while also joining with cross-sector leaders from philanthropy, nonprofits, and the White House that are all currently focused on getting kids active through play.
