Halifax EMC & CoBank Partner to Support New Community Pickleball and Tennis Courts
Halifax EMC in partnership with CoBank, has made a contribution to enhance recreational opportunities in the Littleton area. Together, the organizations provided matching donations to C.A.R.E./The John 3:16 Center in support of the construction of new community pickleball and tennis courts.
On Friday, August 8, Halifax EMC presented a $5,000 check to The John 3:16 Center. Grading is already underway on the designated site, which will feature a total of four pickleball courts and one dedicated tennis court.
While the new courts will be located on the grounds of The John 3:16 Center, they will be open to the public from dawn until dusk, providing a new outlet for recreation, health, and community engagement.
“Our goal is to bring fitness and fun to families in the community,” said Shannon McAllister, Executive Director at The John 3:16 Center. “We’re also excited to create a space that enhances the recreational education we offer to children in our programs.”
“The Co-op is proud to support a project that focuses on the well-being of local residents and creates accessible spaces that bring people together through physical activity and play,” said Tucker Lemley, Chief Executive Officer of Halifax EMC.
CoBank, a national cooperative bank headquartered in Colorado, matched Halifax EMC’s contribution through its Sharing Success program, which supports charitable efforts in rural communities by doubling its members’ donations.
