Partner Spotlight
We're proud to celebrate LKQ Corporation as the Title Sponsor for our 2025 BootCamp with a generous $100,000 contribution—their second year in a row at this level of support. With leadership from NGS Board Member and LKQ Senior VP Ian Musselman, LKQ continues to play a vital role in empowering our Scholars and helping them grow into the leaders their families sacrificed for them to become.
Scholar Spotlight
This month we're featuring Kelly Tanner, a Georgia Southern University senior who's merging her background in pastry arts with a new passion for film and media. From studying in France to producing a competition-style cooking show for her senior project, Kelly's story reflects both creative ambition and personal resilience. We're especially grateful to LKQ CEO Justin Jude and the Gary Sinise Foundation for helping bring her vision to life.
