The Make an Impact Foundation and Brody Thompson Foundation in partnership with the community members listed below came together to fundraise for a new playground in memory of Brody Thompson. Brody lost his life in a drowning accident. He spent much of his young life at the baseball complex at Stumpy Creek Park, near the new playground site. This playground will not only be a place for Brody’s memory to live on but a place for kids to safely play while their families spend time at the baseball fields. There is also a special piece of equipment donated in honor of the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation Catwalk Heroes. With the help of the community, the Make an Impact Foundation and their supporters, the Thompson family opened the new playground on what would be Brody’s 11th birthday, December 31, 2022.
