Thank You, First Bank

Dear Editor: The Baranof Barracudas Swim Club is grateful to First Bank for its generous contribution to the BBSC Scholarship Fund. This contribution will allow us to expand access to a fun, healthy, and lifelong skill to more families in Sitka.

As a non-profit organization the Baranof Barracudas Swim Club operates a year-round competitive swim program for children of all ages in Sitka. We strive to keep our monthly rates as low as possible, and supporting our members who need a little extra help is important too. We believe that swimming is an essential life skill that can provide children with a lifetime of benefits, including improved health, fitness, and water safety.

We are committed to making swimming accessible to all children, regardless of their ability to pay. First Bank’s contribution will help us to provide scholarships to children who would otherwise not be able to participate in our programs.

Thank you, again, for the support. We are so grateful to have partners like First Bank who believe in our mission and are helping us to make a difference in the lives of children in Sitka.

Coach Kevin Knox,

Baranof Barracudas Swim Club

Board of Directors,
