According to Joanna Sweeney, with Beyond The Label in Prescott: “We run a local nonprofit called BeyondTheLabel. We have helped install board alternatives in several locations already in our Prescott community. Kayla’s Hands park has a board as well as the downtown splash pad (they have two). Also, Dr. Raber our pediatric dentist at DMD Pediatric Dentistry, and Lessons by Lexe dance studio! The files for the boards are ready to go for the airport . Our speech pathologist Wylanta Jones has given them the go! We are so excited to share!” For more information go to BeyondTheLabel.life
