Lauren Bowling – Can’d Aid Ambassador

Lauren Bowling, mother of three young children, Braxton (6) and twins Mack and Miles (5), and the inspiration for the Berthoud Adaptive Park Project (BAPP). She serves as ambassador to Can’d Aid’s Treads + Trails program for the past three years. Can’d Aid’s Treads + Trails program provides tools and access for underserved populations to live healthy and active lifestyles, which makes BAPP a perfect opportunity to listen and respond to one community’s unique needs.

BAPP kicked off in July of 2021 with a goal of raising $1M and has currently reached $458K of that goal within the first year of fundraising. While an accessible playground may have been inspired by the Bowling family, the Can’d Aid team and partners —all big dreamers—envision that this playground be a premier destination for children and parents with a wide range of disabilities and plan to build inclusivity into as many aspects of the park’s development as possible.
