The donation helps subsidize league athletics within East Alton, Roxana, and Wood River.
“Because of these donations we have been able to keep league registration fees at the lowest in the area. We have made upgrades to uniforms and safety equipment as well. This sponsorship assures that any kid who wants to play ball in the summer has that chance,” said Wood River Parks and Rec Director, Jason Woody.
“We are proud of our sponsorship and relationship with the Tri-City organization and are happy to be able to make an impact with the families in the community. This gives them the chance to bond and create lasting relationships while playing sports,” said Lou Bicanic, President Midwest Members Credit Union.
Midwest Members presented representatives from the Tri-City organization with the check in May. Teams have already begun practicing and are looking forward to a great season.
