OUR STORY
For more than twenty years, a group of compassionate individuals - Scott Rudin, Steve Hara, Michael Rosen and Trevor Brody have dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to the special needs community. Their unwavering commitment has been further strengthened by the continuous support of friends, family members, volunteers, and even celebrities throughout this remarkable journey.
At Helping Hands Network, we are immensely grateful for the profound relationships nurtured and the lasting memories created as we strive to raise funds, amplifying the voices of those who are unable to advocate for themselves.
KENNY RUDIN PLAYGROUND
at Brickyards Park
Since the Fall of 2019, the Deerfield Park District worked in partnership with the Rudin family on the plans and renovation of Brickyards Playground. The generous donations from the Rudin’s and their family and friends culminated in the Summer of 2020 as Brickyards Playground is renamed the Kenny Rudin Playground.
