The good times continue to roll for the Helper Express All-Abilities playground, as the fixture recently received a boost in funding courtesy of a donation from Etzel Realty, as well as the continued community support for iGotPoop.com’s ‘Tooter’ giveaway.

Friends of the Helper Area extend their heartfelt gratitude to Etzel Realty for their generous donation, which significantly contributes toward the repayment of their Helper Express Inclusive Playground loan,” reads a release from the playground. “This act of kindness not only demonstrates a commitment to community welfare but also sets a commendable precedent for local businesses.”

The playground is also seizing this opportunity to encourage other businesses to play a part in the facility, challenging organizations across the area to contribute to the playground.

Donations can be made through Venmo and PayPal under the username FriendsofHelper.

Additionally, iGotPoop.com is still hosting its giveaway for a 2024 RZR 200 EFI side-by-side affectionately named ‘Tooter’.

“All proceeds from this initiative will be directed toward alleviating the financial burden of the playground’s loan,” says the playground. “Your participation in this event not only provides you with a chance to win an exciting prize but also contributes significantly to a worthy cause that benefits the community.”

Tickets for the opportunity drawing go for $2 and can be purchased online here.

‘Tooter’ will be given away at the annual Helper Christmas Light Parade.
