She introduced one of the courses and did a great job! HCC Research Plot Sponsorship

Vedra Scramble > We were also an event sponsor for the Vedra Scramble for Education, the sole fundraiser for the Forrestville Valley School Foundation, which provides student scholarships as well as mini-grants to teachers to help fund their special activities and needs in educating our youth. Eats & Beats
"Eats and Beats" was a 2-day event coordinated by over 20 Freeport area nonprofit organizations.
