The project was created in partnership with
Eastside Boys & Girls Club and funded by Unilever and H-E-B
A new playground called DREAM Park opened on July 16 at the
Martin Luther King Park in San Antonio. Giving local youth the
opportunity to Be the Dream, the opening day was commemorated with
a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by representatives from the
Eastside Boys & Girls Club, Unilever, H-E-B and elected
officials. The playground is open to the general public and will
provide kids with plenty of space and fun to enjoy the
outdoors.

“The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio is immensely grateful
for the continued support of Unilever and H-E-B,” said Ada Saenz,
interim CEO for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio. “Because
of their commitment to youth, our Club kids, and all children on
the Eastside of San Antonio, will have a beautiful space to play
for many years to come. Dr. King’s legacy lives on in this
community park and through the strong partnerships we have with our
generous donors.”
“Now in its second year, the Unilever Day of Service and Every
Day U Does Good campaign has been focused on empowering women and
families, particularly in our local communities in need. This
playground is an example of our commitment in action here in the
great state of Texas,” said Steve Kohring, Customer Development
lead for Unilever.
The new playground adapts a section of previously unused space
within Martin Luther King Park to help benefit the local community
with this playground. Unilever, H-E-B, and the Eastside Boys &
Girls Club worked together on the ideation, design, and
organization of resources for the playground.
“At H-E-B we are constantly striving to create lasting impacts
in the communities we serve,” said James Harris, director of
Diversity & Inclusion at H-E-B. “By working alongside Unilever
and the Boys & Girls Club we’re able to provide our community
with a space and opportunity to come and engage with their
neighbors in a meaningful way.”
Construction of the playground was funded through the
partnership between Unilever and H-E-B. Both companies donated to
the project and the donation was also supported by Unilever’s
in-store fundraising campaign and H-E-B's Be the Change initiative.
Unilever’s engagement is part of the company’s social purpose
commitment, an initiative called Every Day U Does Good. Through
this commitment, Unilever is helping people and communities who
have been hardest hit by the pandemic, working with retail,
corporate and nonprofit partners to bring relief to local
communities. Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a national
partner in this effort, and H-E-B, headquartered in San Antonio, is
a retail partner in Texas.
