2023 IMPACT Charity Project – Journey to Dream: Kyle’s Place
April 3, 2023 | 7:30AM – 2:00PM
This event is sold out.
Every year the Connex Foundation uses the talent and resources of multi-site facilities management professionals to support a non-profit organization in the maintenance and repair of their facility. Connex Foundation believes removing the facility maintenance and repair burden allows non-profits to effectively carry out their mission to support and impact their local community.
This year the Connex Foundation is supporting Journey to Dream in Lewisville, TX. Journey to Dream: Kyle’s Place provides safe, caring, supportive environments where teens can safely wrestle with big issues, develop critical coping skills and plan for their futures. Kyle’s Place is the only youth transitional living campus in Denton County for teens ages 14-19. More than just a warm bed, they provide stability and the guidance and accountability of caring adults.
Your registration fee supports this significant project, includes transportation, lunch, and Connex Foundation swag.
Volunteers onsite will assist in building furniture, landscaping, installing appliances, and more. Please plan to wear suitable clothing and shoes for these activities.
