SYNLawn® Donates Artificial Turf Lawn to Victory Junction for Charity Camp
Dalton, GA — SYNLawn, a leading global manufacturer and innovator of sustainable synthetic turf, is proud to support Victory Junction, a year-round Camp in North Carolina for children with complex medical conditions, with the donation of an artificial grass lawn to improve accessibility for camp attendees at the newly debuted Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America Water Park.
“We are honored to create a safer and more inclusive play space for children of all abilities,” said George Neagle, president of SYNLawn Global. “Philanthropy is important to our company, and our culture is built on serving people around the globe through charitable endeavors that align with our mission to improve the planet through synthetic turf.”
SYNLawn SYNSport was used to create the green space. It’s the ideal turf for this type of high-traffic space since it provides superior durability and support. It’s also a more environmentally friendly option due to being made with SYNLawn’s exclusive plant-based EnviroLoc+™ backing system created from renewable resources such as soybean oil. The sustainable grass offers a smoother and more stable outdoor space than natural grass for camp attendees who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices. Synthetic surfacing is proven to reduce injury and lessen the impact of falls by absorbing the shock better than real grass, which creates a safer play environment for all.
“We’re all very appreciative of this generous and beautiful gift from SYNLawn – especially the children who will benefit from the donated lawn,” said Chad Coltrane, president and CEO of Victory Junction. “The addition of the artificial turf allows us to extend our water park activities and programming from the pool to the poolside. It also adds the perfect landscape appeal and symbolizes a generous spirit of giving back. Our charitable partnerships are valuable and enable us to provide more exciting experiences for the kids.”
