What Others are Saying
"There is a man from our community who was addicted to crack for 30 years. He participates regularly in your grassroots project. He told me the reason he is so committed is because your program gives him a chance to show his children that he can GIVE BACK to the community what he spent 30 years taking from it" - Teresa Clardy, KCK Workforce Partnership |
"I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you we are pursuing a strategy here in Clay County based upon some of your suggestions. Some of the initiatives are a task force to bring a research facility, an angel investor group, and a cooperative event with Kauffman to bring the 1 Million cups program to the Northland. Thanks again for your donation of time and talent to guide us." - Jim Hampton, CEO Clay County Economic Development, Missouri |
