WCCO: After $10K donation, Glen Lake Elementary School to build accessible playground

December 13, 2022

As WCCO first reported, kids who don't use wheelchairs are fundraising for kids who do. WCCO was back on campus a week later, as they got a big surprise that gets them one step closer to fun for all.

There was good reason for excitement, as two employees of BMW of Wayzata rolled in. Ric Saatzer, the general manager, addressed the class.  

"We heard what you guys were doing and we knew how much work you were putting in. And you guys were really in need of this new place set," Saatzer said. "We had a better year than expected, so we had extra money to deploy into the community. And so we're here to give you guys a check today for $10,000."
