Founded in 2011, the nonprofit organization created All My Friends Playground, which is accessible to children of all abilities, in Grafton’s Centennial Park, has provided camp scholarships to children with special needs and is now raising money for a sensory room and backpacks for youngsters who are overstimulated and need a break at Ozaukee Elementary School in Fredonia.  Photos by Sam Arendt
