Community center gets $30K Bond Foundation grant

The Bellin Health Bond Community Center received a generous donation to support phase three of its outdoor youth playground, annual kids’ triathlon and continuation of free community day events through a grant from the Leon H. and Clymene M. Bond Foundation, Inc. This is the third year the Bond Community Center has received a grant from the Bond Foundation. The current grant was applied for through the Bellin Health Foundation, which will assist in managing the one-year grant for $30,000. “We are very thankful for this donation, which will allow us to increase the play-ability of our playground for kids of all ages,” said Julie Bulin, vice president of Bellin Health Oconto Hospital. “These funds are a way for us to continue providing great health and well-being programming to everyone within our community.” A portion of the funds will be dispersed to the third annual kids’ triathlon, geared toward children ages 3 to 14, as well as to free community day events such as family yoga, crafting projects and scavenger hunts. The Bond Center offers health and fitness programs designed for various ages and skill levels in a welcoming and friendly environment. From high-intensity training to cooling down in low-impact aquatic exercise classes, the center is a recreational and wellness facility that serves the residents of Oconto and neighboring communities.
