Sugar has been

a driving force behind the fund-raising effort for the Luther Holt Memorial

All Children's Playground, which is designed for children of all abilities,

including those who use wheelchairs and walkers.

Sugar received

a $1,000 check, to be used for the third phase of the playground, which

has an estimated price tag of $100,000. She and her family also received

Braves memorabilia and free tickets to the game.

Sugar chairs

the committee that was appointed to lead the fund-raising effort by the

Peachtree City Recreation Department. She was nominated for the honor

"It's

quite an honor and we had a great time at the game," Sugar said.

"The $1,000 will definitely help towards Phase III."

Sugar started

the playground effort after writing a letter to the city pointing out

there were no accessible playgrounds and offering to help build one.

The playground,

located at Picnic Park behind City Hall, is linked with ramps and accessible

bridges and also has a special rubberized surface for additional accessibility

and safety.

For information

about donations and sponsorships available for the playground, contact

the Recreation Department at 770-631-2542.
