“Being part of this foundation has connected me to the dreams and needs of our community and surrounding counties. It’s been amazing to see what people can do,” says Young-Engstrom. “I cannot wait to see what will be done in 2024. So much work goes into this foundation and the benefits are long lasting. Everyone wins!”
