I need to replace gravel with rubber mats in our complex, but the cost is 8K+?

Question

I have done the math and we need at least 1300 square feet of tile which sells for $25+ for a 4 SF tile. We are fundraising our lil bums off and I am wondering if anyone who might suggest someone to approach for donations? What kind of industry would want to donate $ for this? It's a health matter, our kids keep getting sick from bacteria in the current gravel (eye infections, etc). I'm having a grocery store funded BBQ next weekend but we need some big time money. Can anyone suggest an organisation that might want to donate a few hundred dollars? Please only serious replies, and no I don't exppect money for nothing....my son raised $160 in 2 days for a penny drive!

Answer 1

Is this for an organization or for personal purposes?

Answer 2

And if the kids still get infections after the pads are in place (with the gravel underneith?)?   Have you had the gravel tested?  Have you sprayed with gravel with chlorinated disinfectant water?  

  What about bulk foam instead of 2x2 foot tiles?
