BayCoast Bank Announces Generous Grant for Stoico/ FIRSTFED YMCA Splash Pad

It may be winter now, but by the time we’re enduring sweltering temperatures this summer, there will be an exciting new place on the SouthCoast to cool off. BayCoast Bank has announced a grant to support the construction of a splash pad at the Stoico/ FIRSTFED YMCA, in Swansea.

Members of the BayCoast Bank family, Partners Insurance Group, and the Stoico/FIRSTFED YMCA, recently gathered for the official groundbreaking ceremony for the 2,400 squarefoot splash pad, which is scheduled to open this summer.

“On behalf of my family, we were honored and proud to participate in seeing this project to completion,” said Scott Munro, Stoico/FIRSTFED YMCA Advisory Board Member. “The splash pad will facilitate the YMCA’s mission to serve the local community and especially the children that attend summer camp and programs.

The cost of the project is estimated at $600,000. Members of the community, along with BayCoast Bank, have offered generous support, but additional donations are needed. H
