LAPEER,
Mich., Dec. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ChoiceOne
Bank (NASDAQ: COFS) ("ChoiceOne") is pleased to announce its
$55,000 contribution to the Kiwanis
Club of Lapeer for their
fundraising campaign to build the Kiwanis Inclusive Playground
which will be located at Rowden Park in Lapeer.
"As the local community bank, ChoiceOne is excited to announce
our $55,000 commitment to the Kiwanis
Club of Lapeer's fundraising
campaign to build the Kiwanis Inclusive Playground," said ChoiceOne
President Michael J. Burke, Jr.
"This playground will touch so many families in our communities,
young and old. The fact that it is inclusive means it will ensure
that children and adults of all ages and abilities are able to play
and learn together."
The playground will benefit residents in Lapeer County, as well as those in surrounding
counties. ChoiceOne is specifically sponsoring the ZipKrooz which
is an exhilarating double zip line made for those living with and
without a disability. This is an exciting feature of the Kiwanis
Inclusive Playground plan. The Kiwanis Club of Lapeer is currently in its fundraising stage
for the playground and hopes to begin installation by 2025. For
more information on the playground features and the overall plan
see http://www.kiwanislapeer.org/playground.html.
"ChoiceOne's support of this inclusive playground is what
community banking is all about," said Burke. "A project
of this nature brings the people of our communities together
because everyone matters, and everyone is invited. It is also
extremely gratifying to have our own Kara
Lambourn, Beth Henderson, and
Matt Rodda taking lead roles in
getting this vision to reality. Not only are they leaders within
the Bank but also walk out our culture with their leadership roles
on this project. As we come to the end of our
125th Anniversary this year, we are honored to
close 2023 with this donation to our communities."
