KCR recently dedicated time and its refinishing expertise to support a local charity foundation focused on enriching the lives of our community’s youth. The Chartrand Foundation is committed to empowering today’s children, young men, and young women through sports and motivational initiatives.
Enriching Lives Through Sports and Motivation
Driven by several core beliefs, the Chartrand Foundation holds firm to the idea that opportunities are essential for the flourishing of children and young adults. They recognize the pivotal role of sports and physical activities in fostering development and boosting self-esteem for individuals of all backgrounds. Moreover, they maintain a perspective that while global change may seem daunting; impacting and enhancing small aspects of the world, even one person at a time, is achievable.
Local, Regional, and Global Impact
The organization’s impact extends locally, regionally, and globally, providing essential sports equipment such as soccer balls, ball pumps, soccer goals, speed ropes, basketballs, and more. One of their flagship initiatives is the K-State-Ed Chartrand Memorial Soccer Tournament, attracting men’s and women’s teams from colleges across the Midwest. Further details about their various projects can be found on their website: Chartrand Foundation Projects
KCR’s Contribution to the Cause
With a longstanding history of giving back to our community, KCR gladly lent its expertise to the Chartrand Foundation’s cause. When the local charity reached out for assistance in refinishing some metal shells used for trophies at their annual K-State Ed Chartrand Memorial Soccer Tournament, KCR promptly answered the call. Taking the shells from their worn and damaged state to a polished mirrored finish, ensuring the trophies reflected the importance of the event they represented.
