Shane's Inspiration

Shane's Inspiration is a California-based nonprofit organization that works toward creating accessible playgrounds and supporting inclusive play, through projects in the United States and abroad.

Shane's Inspiration was founded in 1998, by television producer Scott A. Williams and his wife Catherine Curry-Williams, and their friend Tiffany Harris, in memory of Scott and Catherine's son Shane, who died in infancy from the effects of spinal muscular atrophy.

[1][2] They were inspired in part by the work of Amy Jaffe Barzach, founder of Boundless Playgrounds a few years earlier.

[14] Shane's Inspiration has also collaborated with Too Small to Fail and equipment manufacturer Landscape Structures Inc., to create playground signage in English and Spanish that encourages conversations between parents and children.

[15] Fundraising activities for Shane's Inspiration include the annual "Walk and Roll" event in Griffith Park.
