“Youth sports are such a great opportunity for kids to get involved, compete, and have fun,” said John McKinney, Director of Human Resources at Precious Plate. “If it wasn’t for all the time and effort put in by those that volunteer their time to coach and manage these programs, they wouldn’t be available. We are proud to support this program and look forward to displaying the commemorative plaque on the Community Wall in our front office.”
