Summer Events
Things to Do with Companies That Care and AIM High This Summer
We hope you'll join us for our Second Annual Racetrack Event and our Sixth Annual Golf Outing, in June and August respectively! Both are fun-filled days with lots to do! The Racetrack Event is great for the family, with games, hat-making, food and drinks, all at the Arlington Racetrack. The Golf Outing is an excellent way to start your weekend early, while getting the company to sponsor you! Join us for a round of 18, a "closest to the pin" contest, or maybe just some good food. And both of these events support local students' efforts to get to and graduate from college.
