From DC to Dallas: Highlights from the 2024 Spring Big Dig Season
This year's Spring Big Dig season was exceptional, brimming with inspiring moments that showcased the heart and hard work of our amazing partners and volunteers. Thanks to their dedication, we transformed the schoolyards of eight schools, giving over 3,900 students access to outdoor learning spaces teeming with endless possibilities. One of the standout highlights was with The Washington Commanders Foundation at Rocketship Rise Academy in Washington, D.C. Their rookies and legends didn’t just show up; they invested in students, making lasting memories and learning opportunities.
