Barry Greenstein Builds Gymnasium with Children, Inc.

Children who live on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in Todd County, South Dakota, now have a place to play basketball, thanks to Barry Greenstein and non-profit organization Children, Incorporated.

An open house was held at the Barry Greenstein Gymnasium Oct. 16. The gym is part of the Rosebud Dormitory student residence and school on the reservation. It’s not known how much Greenstein donated, but he funded the entire project through Children, Incorporated.

Before Children, Incorporated got involved with Rosebud Dormitory in 2003, the dorm consisted of four sleeping rooms and a dining hall. Now, more than 140 Lakota Sioux children are housed and educated at the dorm.

The gym only adds to the children’s well-being and quality of life.

"This gymnasium, which proudly displays a sign over the entrance that reads Barry Greenstein, brings new hope to this community. The children and their families are so grateful," said Marian Cummins, Children, Incorporated CEO. "This is now a haven for the children, a refuge and an inspiration to this community plagued with teenage suicides. They now have a building they can call their own."
