Since then, it has evolved to focus on youth health and fitness, and raising funds to build specially designed "all abilities" playgrounds for children in the metropolitan Atlanta area. A major goal of the Foundation is to support construction of at least one of these playgrounds a year. Learn more at www.resurgensfoundation.com.
