The Sandy Ground Project is an effort of the New Jersey Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association to build playgrounds dedicated to the memory of the twenty-six victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.  The playgrounds in Connecticut, New york and New Jersey are located in towns devastated by Superstorm Sandy. 

This afternoon the ribbon will be cut on a playground at Fireman's Park in Union Beach New Jersey that honors Jack Pinto.  The 6-year old was an avid Giants fan, and was buried in his Victor Cruz jersey.  Some NFL players are expected to attend the opening. 

Jack’s older brother was named as the honorary foreman of the project.

This is the second playground to open in New Jersey, the first is in memory of the school psychologist Mary Sherlach. 

Ground was broken this week at an Ansonia Elementary School for a playground celebrating the life of Catherine Hubbard.
