Anonymous donor provides Sunnyside pool season passes to 12 area families

News

July 7th, 2022 by admin

Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh has announced that an anonymous donor has made the summer a little sweeter for 12 Atlantic-area families by providing them with season pool passes to Sunnyside Pool (a $1,440 value). The families that received the passes have expressed their gratitude and shared that they have been having a lot of fun at the pool.

Atlantic Parks and Recreation Director Bryant Rasmussen said this gift aligns with the belief that everyone deserves equitable access to recreational opportunities. He feels that parks and recreation departments should offer as many low-cost or no-cost opportunities as possible and this helps achieve that goal. He says the department would love to partner with other individuals or organizations interested in sponsoring similar opportunities.

That’s what the anonymous donor likes to hear. She said that she hopes that hearing about the gift will encourage others to do some good too.

The gift was dispersed with the help of Atlantic Parks and Recreation, Atlantic City Hall, and Washington Elementary School.
