Why does your business sponsor so many youth-related activities?
"It's just a commitment to the community. I have a commitment to the place I grew up in, so I continue to support and sponsor different youth programs."
Why is child safety important to you?
"The day camp gives kids exposure. They have different stations with topics in electrical, lawnmower, sun, and first aid safety. It's a good way to teach children how to be safe. Hopefully, they take something home with them and an accident is prevented. That program gives back to the community. It's countywide and we get children from all the different school districts."
