Laramie County Community College and Blue Federal Credit Union partnered to name the Blue Federal Credit Union Recreation & Athletics (RAC) Complex. The partnership between LCCC and Blue is an opportunity for both organizations to reach even deeper into the community and support the work happening at both institutions. Blue joined other project partners to help move the RAC renovation and expansion forward, while also seeking opportunities to engage with students and continue making a positive impact on the Cheyenne community. To date Blue’s sponsorship is the largest private contribution to the project.
