Rascal Flatts builds playground

Thursday, October 16, 2008 – Rascal Flatts members Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney teamed up with volunteers from The Home Depot, Academy of Country Music and KaBOOM! in Birmingham, Ala. Wednesday to build a playground in 1 day for the 225 students at Princeton Alternative Elementary School.

The playground's design was based on drawings by children who attend the school.

Rascal Flatts were the 2008 recipients of The Home Depot Humanitarian Award at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in May. The award recognizes country music artists who serve others, have a generous spirit and help build the dreams of those in need. The Humanitarian Award recipients are honored with a KaBOOM! playground donated by The Home Depot built in the city of the artist's choice.
