Old Mission Rotary was so impressed and inspired by a club program by Workshops for Warriors that the Art Pratt Foundation of Old Mission Rotary went into overdrive to research and approve a $25,000 grant. The photo above shows the check presentation ceremony on January 28, 2014. the

The money was necessary to trigger matching funds from  Reliance Steel and a local shipyard for a ventilation system that will allow Workshops for Warriors to triple their class size from six to eighteen students. Workshops for Warriors assists the transition of veterans and injured veterans into civilian life through mentoring, training, and education.
