Synthetic turf going to the dogs
A coveted award for animals came to Hope Rescues in Godfrey, IL by way of Georgia-based Synthetic Turf International, which awarded the rescue group with $50,000 in installed turf based on Hope Rescues' winning video entry for the company's Better Play and Recreation Contest, established to better a nonprofit. The 14-acre sanctuary contains a pond, wooded land and a 1-acre-plus play yard, which is where Synthetic Turf International employees will install the turf in September.
