We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Without Limits Playground - Mascoutah to help bring an accessible, inclusive playground to our community — and you can help make it happen!

🛒 This summer, when you shop at Betty Ann Market, you’ll have the chance to round up your total at the register to the nearest dollar — and here’s the best part:
💥 Betty Ann Market will MATCH every donation dollar for dollar!

Right now, the playground at Scheve Park has broken equipment, weeds, and mud — it’s not a space where all kids can play together. But with your help, we can change that and create something truly magical for ALL children in our community.

💜 Shop local. Give a little. Change a lot.

Let’s build a playground Without Limits — together! 🙌
