Dear Members,

The American Bus Association (ABA) has selected The Konnection as a recipient of the ABA Gives Back Charity. “The Konnection is a Detroit-based mentoring program designed to encourage and empower youth to improve school performance and attendance. The Konnection partners with middle and high schools in underserved communities to provide resources including basic needs, enriching after-school programs, mentoring, field trips, career exploration, and travel opportunities. Our goal is to keep students excited about learning and engaged in school.” Visit www.thekonnection.org to learn more

ABA’s Women in Buses (WIB) Council will be assisting in a service-learning trip to the Konnection while at Marketplace 2023. During this trip, WIB will be working hands-on with the youth of the program in one of their various programs, including the Konnection Kloset.

Four members of PBA currently sit on the leadership team of WIB:
  • Jennifer Corman (Fullington Trailways) – Vice-Chair, Travel, Tour, & Charter Committee
  • Christa McCusker (Klein Transportation – Vice-Chair, Membership Committee
  • Jen Stanley (Fullington Trailways) – Chair, Operations, Maintenance & Driver Committee
  • Lois Stoltzfus (Ohio Star Theater) – Chair, Travel, Tour & Charter Committee
 
PBA would like to present a donation to the Konnection Kloset during the WIB visit. PBA organizations and their members can donate with other PBA members in one contribution. 

Online donations can be made here. If you would prefer to send a check – please contact Christa McCusker at christam@kleintransportation.com or Jen Stanley at jstanley@fullingtontours.com 

No donation is too small! Thank you for your support.
Thank you,
