Supported by a $25,000 donation from both Unilever and H-E-B, the Blue Triangle Multi-Cultural Association is undergoing an upgrade of its Community Center playground. On Feb 16th, a “Volunteer Day” will put the finishing touches on the refurbishment of the center’s playground. The event will gather volunteers, company leaders and representatives from the Blue Triangle. Encouraging the volunteers, Rudy Tomjanovich (former NCAA Basketball Player & former NBA Player and Coach) will be joining the event.

The Volunteer Event will kick-off on Feb 16th at 8:00am and will wrap-up at 11:45am with a group picture. Location: 3005 McGowen St, Houston.
