At the LDF Business Development Corporation, we believe that the road to success begins with a single step, and often, that step starts in the classroom. We understand the importance of quality education and the tools needed to achieve it.

In a bid to empower students for the upcoming academic year, our team has come together to provide over 45 fully stocked backpacks brimming with essential learning supplies. From notebooks to erasers, markers to rulers, each backpack is a treasure trove of tools that promises to ignite creativity, facilitate learning, and ensure every student is equipped for success.

But that's not all! Also included are colored pencils to add a splash of vibrancy to projects, scissors for those crafty assignments, and nifty pencil cases to keep everything organized. Every element within these backpacks has been chosen with care, ensuring students have everything they need at their fingertips.

"We understand that small gestures can have a huge impact," says Manuel Vazquez, CEO of the LDF Business Development Corporation.  "By providing these backpacks, we hope to alleviate some of the stresses of back-to-school preparations for families and give students a head start on their academic journey. Our commitment to education and the future of our community drives us to find ways to make a difference. This initiative stands as a testament to our belief in the boundless potential of every student.”

To the students receiving these backpacks: Here's to a year full of learning, growth, and endless possibilities. Your journey is just beginning, and we're honored to be a small part of it. Remember, with dedication and the right tools, the sky's the limit!

Lac du Flambeau Boxers recently attended 'Boxing In The Bowl' held in Keshena. Five young men traveled and weighed in. Four were matched up. Thunder LaBarge and Lance Wayman Jr. both brought home some very nice belts for winning their matches. Darrian Wolfe and Seth LaBarge both received a loss. Thank you to the Menominee Indians Boxing Team for the invite. 

We appreciate you. -LdF Boxing Team
