Cleveland Browns, United Way and Eaton unite in a "Hometown Huddle" to build a playground in one day
Cleveland Browns players and United Way Services volunteers scrimmaged with shovels and screwdrivers
instead of helmets and shoulder pads on Tuesday, October 7, to build a play structure
at Friendly Inn Settlement,
2386 Unwin Road in Cleveland. The Browns teamed up with United Way Services and Eaton Corporation for the
5th Annual NFL and United Way Hometown Huddle. From 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., Cleveland Browns players and staff
joined community leaders and volunteers from United Way Services and Eaton Corporation with the goal of building a
colorful playground complete with slides, climbers and roofs in the inner courtyard of the agency. The children at Friendly Inn
rushed the field to play once the unit was finished!
