Atlanta Braves mascot Blooper celebrates the new Tim Lee playground with the kids.
Thanks to the generosity of the Atlanta Braves Foundation and Gas South, the kids and teens served by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier/Tim Lee Habersham County facility have brand-new playground equipment, just in time for summer.
“The kids and teens we serve at the Tim Lee Club have gone without playground equipment for the past two years,” said Kendall Sims, director of development for Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier. “Safety is a priority at each of our clubs and the previous structure was outdated and unsafe. This playground gives new and fresh opportunities for kids to play and have a fun, safe and positive environment.”
The new playground comes at the perfect time as kids and teens begin their summer camp.
The Tim Lee Club was added to the organization’s roster of facilities in 2020 through a lease. The property was purchased by Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier in 2024. In Habersham it currently serves 544 young people in five school-based sites and one stand-alone club: the Tim Lee Club.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier’s mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need the organization most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier serves more than 5,000 kids and teens throughout Hall, Habersham and Forsyth counties through 20 clubs and sites.
