The spirit of giving and community support was in full display this week as Coastal Community Credit Union made a generous donation of $3,000 to the Victoria HarbourCats Foundation, marking another milestone in their ongoing partnership aimed at nurturing local youth's sports dreams. This significant contribution underscores the credit union's commitment to removing financial barriers that prevent some young athletes from participating in baseball and softball, two sports that are pivotal to the local community's fabric.
The Victoria HarbourCats Foundation, known for its dedication to promoting youth involvement in sport, has found a consistent and supportive partner in Coastal Community Credit Union. This latest donation will go directly towards funding equipment and league fees for aspiring baseball and softball players who might otherwise miss out on these opportunities due to financial constraints.
"Every child deserves the chance to play, to be part of a team, to be on a field, and to pursue their dreams in sports like baseball and softball. The partnership with the Coastal Community Credit Union is a testament to our belief in the power of community and the importance of supporting our young athletes. We're proud to help make these dreams a reality, and without the generous support of others, these dreams may not happen for some. Coastal Community Credit stepped up to the plate, as they did last year as well, to make a difference in the lives of many. We value their partnership and thank them greatly for their continued support." -- Tyler Boldt, Vice President of the Victoria HarbourCats Foundation
Last year, Coastal Community Credit Union also made headlines with a donation of $3,500 to the Foundation, reinforcing their role as a cornerstone of local community support. Through these contributions, the Credit Union has not only helped in covering costs that many families find prohibitive but also in fostering a sense of inclusion and possibility among the youth.
The Victoria HarbourCats Foundation has expressed deep gratitude for the continued support from Coastal Community Credit Union, highlighting the impact of these donations on the community. Due to the generosity of Coastal Community Credit Union, the Foundation is able to welcome more young players into our programs, regardless of their financial background. Partnerships like these that truly make a difference in our community.
As Coastal Community Credit Union continues to demonstrate its commitment to the community and the advancement of youth sports, their contributions are a beacon of hope and support, ensuring that the love of baseball and softball can be shared by all, regardless of economic standing. The local community looks forward to seeing the positive impacts of this partnership flourish, as more young athletes take to the fields, empowered to chase their dreams with the support of their community behind them.
