Roosevelt & Ruth Educational and Recreational Foundation

Roosevelt & Ruth Educational and Recreational Foundation The Empowerment of youth to achieve their dreams, and enrich communities through service. The playground area is in need of new playground equipment.

In an effort to provide a recreational outlet for children in the community, Bettie Marlow Godwin, founded the Roosevelt and Ruth Marlow Educational and Recreational Foundation in 1997, on a tract of nearly four acres of land generously donated by her maternal grandparents Roosevelt and Ruth Marlow. Situated on the park site dedicated in their memory, The Roosevelt and Ruth Marlow Memorial Park is

complete with a play area for children and picnic shelter. Throughout her life, Bettie was a public servant, a visionary and devoted advocate for children, youth, and families, as a professional and as a volunteer. She, like her mother and grandmother saw this as an opportunity to provide recreation for children who did not have transportation to the local parks.
