In just one day, about 100 volunteers turned an empty lot into a child's wonderland.

Volunteers from around Gwinnett County teamed up to build a playground at the Partnership Against Domestic Violence's shelter in Lawrenceville, Ga. The groups who helped haul, hammer and hoist included Lilburn's Parkview High School's Beta Club, LexisNexis employees, KaBOOM! and Gwinnett Medical Center.
