Community Support
BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO....
Our commitment to service extends to our communities. We are committed to investing in the people and communities that we serve. We believe that community is much more than belonging to something; it's about doing something that makes belonging matter.

Wayne assists with the selection process for awarding scholarships to students from the tri-city area.
