What an amazing experience! Saturday morning we hosted the first Central Virginia Community Experience - CVACE in Lynchburg. It was an amazing moment to see everybody coming together to make a positive impact in the lives of our kids right here.
Thank you to Tyler Cash (Hill City Crash) for the words of encouragement on Focus and its importance. Tony Camm, the Chief Fun Officer, for bringing the fun while stressing the importance of seizing the moment when life smiles at you. Dr Pettiford from the Liberty University School of Engineering for the cool "levitation" and electromagnetic demonstrations, pushing the kids to ask, “Why?” and seek to challenge the status quo. Levi from the The VR Center for sharing his story, demonstrating the possibilities of Virtual Reality, its future and for taking us around the World. Adam Spontarelli with Vector Space for sparking the kids interest on robotics and the possibilities through creativity. DreamShottz Film & Portrait thank you for capturing the moment. Victoria Watts and Stephan Brown, your passion for the community truly shows. It was our pleasure and honor to develop this concept and see it through with the two of you. To all the students and parents who participated - thank you; especially the father and son who drove 35 minutes just to attend the event. We are looking forward to continue on serving our community both locally and abroad (Haiti). Continue to support our youth and seek to make a positive impact in these lives whenever possible with love.

The Central Virginia Community Experience was created to provide access to knowledge, information, and networking opportunities for students who may not otherwise be exposed to them within their everyday classroom environments.
Through the supportive collaborators of the experiences, middle and high school students in the Central Virginia communities will gain awareness, exposure and hands-on experiences with science, technology, arts, and math-related fields for educational, entrepreneurial, and career options of pursuit broadening their horizon as they plan for their future.
THANK YOU TO OUR Collaborative Community Partners - Vector Space, Hill City Crash, THE Virtual Reality Center, Liberty University School Of Engineering, Black Hollywood, MG Productions AND MG Cares.
