Sloane Coolbroth, pictured here with his father, Mike, says he searched for ideas for the project for a long time. He knew he wanted a project that would leave a positive lasting effect on a community. A client of his parents' State Farm office suggested the project, a playground for a local church. Sloan said he loves that the playground will make the church the focal point of the community and hopefully will spread the word of Christ.
