The cooperation on display for Freedom Park’s Build Day at Donald C. Jamieson Academy in Burin was nothing short of phenomenal Saturday.

Topics :: Helping Hands

Some 400 people from around the region registered to help with the project.

Non-profit organization ‘Let Them Be Kids’ announced Jamieson as a recipient of one of its 50-50 fund matching ‘Helping Hands’ awards last spring. Fundraising efforts for the project realized over $175,000.

Work began at 8 a.m. and the last barrelfuls of fill were emptied around 4 in the afternoon.
