Christian Opportunity Center recently renovated the basketball court next to their main office in Pella, and on Friday, dedicated the space to a longtime supporter of the organization’s efforts. The family of the late Denny Brand was on hand to receive the honor intended to pay tribute to the man who created the Goalsetter basketball hoop and served as a board member and supporter of COC.

“The updated basketball court has brought so much joy and activity to the people we support, as well as to the kids in the neighborhood. We were eager to celebrate this excellent addition with the Brand Family,” said Amy Zuck with COC.

The children of Denny all spoke at a brief ceremony to share about his life and impact. COC Executive Director Jodi Tukker presented the family with a plaque to commemorate the space.
