Shake Up Date Night with VIP Perks! by Entertainment

Mary Koczan • October 25, 2022

As part of our New Year’s resolutions, my husband and I made a shared goal of spending more time together as a couple. As parents of a four-year-old with limited babysitter options, it’s a lofty one. We agreed that if we were putting in the extra effort to find a babysitter, we should do the same with our date-night activity.

After scrolling through a few deals on the VIP Perks! by Entertainment app, one caught my attention. It was an offer for 25% off a GoApe Treetop Adventure. Now, my husband and I have talked about how fun it would be to go ziplining, but never followed through with it. Since there’s no better time than the present, I printed the coupon and used it to book our adventure.

When the day came and we were at the park, I was a nervous wreck. Luckily, the staff was very helpful, encouraging and provided thorough training in a short amount of time. As my husband and I weaved through the treetop course together, we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the park, cheered on other couples going through the course and challenged ourselves in a new way. It was an experience we will remember for years to come.

In short, do yourself a favor and shake up date night! From treetop adventures to ice skating to an Improv comedy show, you can enjoy great experiences (and discounts) when you log in to the GBU Life Member Community and opt in for VIP Perks! by Entertainment.

The GBU Life Scholarship Awards support students in college, trade programs, non-college programs, and graduate school, helping them achieve their dreams, setting them on a career path and realizing life goals. Since its founding, the GBU Foundation has awarded 4,500 scholarships and educational grants totaling more than $3.2 million. In 2025, 215 members received $226,000 to support their two‑year, four‑year and graduate studies. Here’s a look at where the rubber meets the road — as we check in on past grantees to see how their scholarship awards have helped them stay on course, where they are now, and where they hope to be in the future.

To celebrate our 134th anniversary, GBU Life launched the Birthday Bash initiative, calling upon the GBU Life community to honor our fraternal legacy through service. GBU Life invited members, producers, and community leaders to assemble and deliver shelf-stable cake kits for individuals and families who may otherwise go without a birthday celebration. What can seem like a simple act of service could be the spark of hope someone needed.
