    A wonderful celebration of the nearly 60 youth that participated in this year's Summer Youth Employment Program. A special thanks to our generous donors who provided funding support: United Way of Central Iowa, Bankers Trust Company, Bank of America and Variety - the Children's Charity of Iowa! And to the corporations, businesses and non-profit agencies that offered employment opportunities to our youth - we appreciate you! #OakridgeStrong #ChangingLives
