Thank you to everyone who attended the Explore The Trades “Fireworks & Dessert Party” fundraiser at EPCOT® in Walt Disney World®!
A fantastic evening of Disney-themed treats, fireworks, and a little bit of Disney magic was enjoyed by the event guests. Through the generous support of home service companies and corporate sponsors, over $60,000 was raised to support Explore The Trades’ mission to bridge the technical talent gap to the service trades of plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical.
Support to Explore The Trades ensures that classroom resources will continue to be available for schools around the country and the organization will continue its vendor partnerships in support of hands-on education.
Thank you to all who attended and helped make it a magical evening!
