BNSF Foundation Grant
Wyoming STARBASE Academy was very surprised when members of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Foundation donated $5,000 to Wyoming STARBASE Foundation! In conjunction with the BNSF train ride to honor veterans and current military members, BNSF presented the donation to our Foundations. Buzz got the honor of accepting the donation.
Wyoming STARBASE was able to use these funds to purchase headphones for our computers, as well as iPads and iPad apps. Our cadets have been using the iPads during some of their "missions" and have really like using them.
A heartfelt "THANK YOU" goes out the the BNSF Foundation, BNSF Railway, and BNSF Employees for their kindness and generosity!
WySBA Director Brian "Buzz" Wright accepts a check from BNSF AVP of State Government Affairs Andrew Johnsen. Col. Shelly Campbell, State Program Manager for WySBA, looks on.
