2023 DALLAS CHARITY PROJECT
The Tribute Behind the Name
Kyle’s Place is named in honor of Kyle Milliman, a strong teen leader who cared greatly for others and often was the first to reach out to those struggling.
Kyle was a prominent leader in the Hebron High School “Journey to a Dream group”, now known as the “Dream Initiative.” Kyle encouraged and motivated his peers to abstain from substance abuse and embrace salvation through Christ. Kyle was always one of the first to make his way to comfort impacted students in the audience with his own personal “hug” ministry.
During his senior year at Hebron High School, Kyle struggled with depression and a football injury that sidelined his dream of playing in college. In 2012, Kyle tragically committed suicide. We honor his memory and remind ourselves of the life-saving importance of our mission by naming our residential campus program in his honor.

2022 LONG BEACH CHARITY PROJECT
The 2022 IMPACT Charity Project was held in Long Beach, CA in April 2022. The Connex Foundation, Inc. supported New Life Beginnings, a non-profit women and children’s shelter in Long Beach, CA. New Life Beginnings, Inc. (NLB) began in 1984 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization and provides shelter and hope for homeless women with children, who may or may not be pregnant.
New Life Beginnings provides a safe shelter in a stable, caring, structured home environment, individualized goal-oriented programs, and opportunities that empower women to break free of the welfare cycle to become independent contributing members of society.
Major improvements and repairs were made to New Life Beginnings facility to include repair of the main sewer line, replacement of electrical panels, roof repairs, window replacements, interior paint, flooring removal and repair, donated beds, donated dressers, donated playset, and so much more.
