My Project

These products are being purchased to help our students learn current and up to date welding techniques. Attracting young people to the trades is tricky, but with the right equipment they can see how fun and exciting it can be. The helmets are used to ensure safe welding practices and learn how to do things the right way! These gifts would be immensely helpful to the learning experience in our school and highlight the true value of the trades. Taking time to give to this cause will be a great way to support the trades in the Minnesota area. Thank you in advance for all donations.
