“Supporting Spark at Booth-Kelly to come to fruition was a feel-good moment for us. We’ve seen firsthand the positive results Connected Lane County creates and we hope contributing to the program helps make a positive impact on the community. We were excited to contribute as a family to create opportunities for youth who might not otherwise have access to hands-on training and opportunity.”
