Preston Cares Donates $25,000 to Support Can-Do Playground Project

The Kind of Place Every Community Needs

The heart of Preston Automotive Group has always been in the communities we serve. Every initiative we support through Preston Cares is rooted in one simple belief: when we come together, we can create something truly meaningful for the people around us. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to share that we recently donated $25,000 to the Can-Do Playground Project at Hudson Park in Sussex County through our Preston Cares program.

A Place Where Every Child Belongs

From the moment we learned about this project, we knew it was something special. The Can-Do Playground is being thoughtfully designed as a fully inclusive space where children of all abilities can play side by side.

When complete, the playground will feature:

• Play areas for children ages 2–5
• Play areas for children ages 5–12
• A swing area
• A quiet sensory space for children who need a more calming environment

For the more than 8,000 children with disabilities in Sussex County, this space will offer something incredibly powerful: the chance to simply be a kid and play without limits.

Built by a Community That Cares

What makes this project even more meaningful is the passion behind it. The Can-Do Playground is being brought to life by Sussex Rotary Can-Do Playground, Inc., a nonprofit formed by seven local Rotary clubs. Together with the Sussex County Land Trust, they are transforming Stephen P. Hudson Park into a place that will serve families for generations. This will be the fourth inclusive playground created by Sussex County Rotarians, each reflecting their deep commitment to building spaces where everyone feels welcome.

Why This Matters to Us

At Preston Automotive Group, we often say that it’s not about the cars, it’s about the people. Supporting this playground through our Preston Cares program is a perfect example of that. We believe every child deserves a place to laugh, explore, and connect. A place where differences are not barriers, but part of what makes the experience richer for everyone. This project speaks directly to that vision, and we’re honored to play a small part in helping bring it to life!

Join Us in Making a Difference

Moments like this remind us why Preston Cares exists. It’s about showing up, supporting one another, and helping build something bigger than ourselves. We’re grateful to stand alongside the Rotary clubs, the Sussex County Land Trust, and everyone working so hard to make the Can-Do Playground a reality.
