Unity Credit Union joined forces with Delta Co-op to host “COOPER & FAT CAT®’s Birthday Pool Party”
at the Unity Credit Union Aquatic Centre on Tuesday, June 27th. Despite having to reschedule the event, the joint initiative was a great success, with over 250 people in attendance. The evening began with a free BBQ and kids games, including fish ponds, mini golf, basketball toss, face painting, and bean bag toss. There was also a dunk tank to fundraise for the Unity Credit Union Aquatic Centre, where the lifeguards got “dunked” for the duration of the evening. COOPER and FAT CAT® visited with their guests, posed for pictures, and handed out birthday cake and treat bags to all kids in attendance. From 7:00 – 8:30, Unity Credit Union and Delta Co-op hosted a free swim for kids under the age of 18. Thanks to everyone who attended!
Kayla Weber and Marina Gampe were the recipients of our $2000 graduation scholarships to be used to attend post-secondary education.
