Yesterday we had he privilege of having Coca-Cola come to our club for our Annual Hanging of the Green. For the past six years, Coca-Cola has donated their time and money to decorate our club for Christmas. Not only did they decorate our club by hanging the garland, but they were able to donate a real tree from Home Depot that they also decorated for us.
Once the decorations were up, the members started coming in and were so excited to see how nice our club looked for the Holiday season. Coca-Cola volunteers spent time in our program areas playing pool, basketball and dodgeball with our members and even brought the supplies necessary to have members create and decorate ornaments that they could take home with them.
Coca-Cola then took their generosity a step further and presented our club with a check for $2,000.00 which will be used to offer self defense courses for our female members, STEM materials for our Education Room, as well as giving us the ability to take our members roller skating, sledding and ice skating as academic incentives throughout the year.
Around dinner time, members also had the chance to decorate and eat Christmas cookies which was then followed by feeding all of our members a very nice Holiday meal with homemade lasagna, vegetables, bread and fruit.
Below is a movie I created highlighting the day's celebration. Thank you, Coca-Cola for all that you do for us throughout the year. Our staff and members greatly appreciate it!
