Holmen student holds fundraiser for new playground equipment

 

HOLMEN (CBS 58) -- An elementary student in Holmen, Wisconsin is on a mission to upgrade his school's playground.

7-year-old Leo Greco noticed some of the equipment was very old and unsafe.

It's blocked off by yellow tape and parts are even breaking.

"Oh look! There's a crack! There and there...and yeah, you get my point," said Greco.

Leo is pitching his playground plan on YouTube, hoping to raise enough funds to update equipment.

His principal says nearly $30,000 have been donated so far, but $250,000 will be needed.

The parent-teacher organization is also raising funds.
