According to a release by the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce, the laptops, funded by AT&T, will go to students participating in the chamber’s SCK LAUNCH career development program.

“These students are investigating careers and developing skills that will help hem establish pathways to a promising future, and providing this necessary equipment puts them another step closer to success,” said Kim Thomas, Bowling Green Chamber Foundation chair, “It’s not just about technology; it’s about giving them tools to unlock their potential.”
