Former UNC and current Washington Wizards All-Star Antawn Jamison was scheduled to join more than 200 volunteers this weekend to build a new playground at the Park Southern Neighborhood Corporation in Washington D.C. The new playground's design is based on drawings provided by children who attended a Design Day event in July.

The new playground in Washington will provide more than 500 children who live at the complex with a safe place to play. Its part of the Kool-Aid and KaBOOM! initiative to build 24 playgrounds across the country in 2008 that will eventually serve more than 250,000 children.

Jamison, whose "A Better Tomorrow" campaign has provided individuals with scholarships, clothing, food donations and financial contributions, participated alongside hundreds of volunteers to build a KaBOOM! playground in just one day in New Orleans on Feb. 15 at the Mahalia Jackson Early Childhood and Family Learning Center in conjunction with the 2008 NBA All-Star Game.
