A transformational moment for the Tolleston community. 💙✂️

Last Wednesday, we celebrated the ribbon cutting and dedication of the Tolleston Opportunity Campus, a project built on the power of partnership and a shared commitment to creating brighter futures for our youth, families and community.

Together with Methodist Hospitals and Crossroads YMCA, we are proud to be part of a space that will bring opportunities, resources and support together under one roof for generations to come.

A project of this magnitude would not be possible without the incredible partners, donors and community leaders who believed in this vision and helped bring it to life. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who played a role in turning this dream into a reality.

Take a look back at some of our favorite moments from this unforgettable day! 📸💙

🌟 CLUB KID SPOTLIGHT: MEET LINCOLN! 🌟

Lincoln is 12 years old and has been a member of our Cedar Lake Club since he was just 6! For Lincoln, the Club has been a big part of his childhood — a place to spend time with friends, make memories at summer camp and, of course, play some Roblox and games on the Infinity Game Table. 🎮

But Lincoln is already dreaming BIG. 💭 He’s proud of helping others whenever he can and is even working with his family on plans to one day start their own grass cutting and landscaping business. And his biggest dream for the future? Finding a cure for cancer. 💙

That’s what Return to Learn is all about. When you support our Clubs, you’re investing in kids like Lincoln and giving them a safe place to learn, grow, build friendships, discover their passions and dream about what comes next.

Lincoln, we can’t wait to see where your dreams take you! 🌟
