On Thursday, June 8th, evolve FCU hosted its second quarter Social Purpose event, Monkey Rockin’ Summer at Monkey Rock in West El Paso. The event was created to kick off summer break for the children belonging to evolve’s partner organizations.
Monkey Rock offers a variety of arcades, virtual reality, bowling, jungle gym, delicious food and much more. This was a private event and closed to the public, allowing the children and families to enjoy the space.
Each organization was given the opportunity to invite 35 of their guests to enjoy the private event. A total of seven organizations were in attendance. The private booking included mini golf, monkey bays with virtual reality sports, Jungle gym, and bowling. Each guest received a $10 gamecard for the arcades. Food was also included in the buyout package which consisted of a variety of pizzas, pastas, salad bar, desserts and unlimited drinks. The staff at Monkey Rock went above and beyond to make sure all the kids and families had the best time there, all thanks to the wonderful management by Mrs. Gloria Martinez.
All the families and kids from the children’s organizations had a blast at Monkey Rock. The Family Service Coordinator from Candlelighters Hilda Menefee stated, “Outings like these mean a lot to the families as these are outings they cannot afford, especially the large families with multiple children.” It is an honor for evolve FCU to be able to support these families and children’s organizations through its Social Purpose.” Organizations included in this event were the Child Crisis Center, Candlelighters, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Make-A-Wish of El Paso, The Children Miracle Network and The Center Against Sexual and Family Violence. In July, evolve FCU will also be working together with the Children’s Miracle network to host a digital fundraiser in efforts to support the local children’s hospital.
As evolve continues its social purpose for 2023, they look forward to creating new and cheerful memories for the children of the El Paso community.
