El Paso YMCA Receives Child-Designed & Much Needed Playground: Dick Poe Dealerships, Mack Massey Chrysler Jeep(R) Dodge, Viva Dodge Chrysler Jeep, Chrysler LLC and KaBOOM! Representatives Build New Playground

- Employees from four local Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge Dealers spearhead effort to provide a safe place for children to play

- Playground is the tenth of 25 scheduled to be built nationwide in 2008 by Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealers, Chrysler LLC, KaBOOM! and community partners

EL PASO, Texas, Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Today more than 250 volunteers from Dick Poe Chrysler Jeep(R); Dick Poe Dodge; Mack Massey Chrysler Jeep Dodge; Viva Dodge Chrysler Jeep; the YMCA Northeast Family Branch; The Chrysler Foundation; Chrysler Financial; organizers from KaBOOM! and residents of the local community joined forces to build a new and secure playground at the YMCA.

Dealership employees led the volunteer effort to build a state-of-the-art playground to serve the needs of the community where the YMCA of El Paso aims to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. The new, updated playground will provide the children who frequent the YMCA with a great, safe and enjoyable place to play.

"I want to congratulate everyone who worked so hard on this worthwhile project," said Dick Poe, President - Dick Poe Motors.

Planning for the playground began at a Design Day held in June when local children and community leaders met with organizers from KaBOOM! and Chrysler to develop their "dream" playground. The children's drawings were used to create the final playground design.

"This playground is a tremendous asset to the YMCA of El Paso and to the northeast El Paso community," Kevin Pearson, President & CEO - YMCA of El Paso said. "Having a safe, free, activity-filled area for kids and families to congregate is important in developing a sense of community and belonging. This helps us in our goal to build strong kids, families and communities."

The playspace will be the 10th of 25 scheduled to be built this year by KaBOOM!, The Chrysler Foundation and Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealerships across the country to provide more than 70,000 children with a great place to play. The playspace is also one of more than 225 builds KaBOOM! will lead across the country in 2008, in an effort to provide an enjoyable place to play within walking distance of every child in America.

"KaBOOM! is committed to bringing play back to the neighborhood one playground at a time," said Darell Hammond, CEO and Co-founder - KaBOOM!. "Every child deserves a place to run, jump, have fun and just be a kid. We are proud to work with Chrysler to give the children at YMCA a great place to play."

Dick Poe Motors

Dick Poe Motors is celebrating 80 years in the automobile business in El Paso and is very proud to be taking part in the KaBOOM! project. Many military personnel are arriving at Ft. Bliss and the timing is perfect, as is the location of the new playground.
