Each of the 40 Under 40 honorees this year are being recognized for their outstanding accomplishments in their fields, and we know that they would not be where they are today without educational support and a community of family, friends, and teachers believing in their potential.
40 Under 40 Honoree Lauren Brown of Neighbor’s Mill Bakery & Café says that, “I find myself using math and technology every day, even in the restaurant industry, so I am thankful for places like The Discovery Center who are invested in teaching our community!” Lauren wants to give a shout out to Mr. King, “my high school English and Journalism teacher. He was inspiring and encouraged us to think outside of the box and voice our opinions. He was the best!” Lauren is raising funds on behalf of the Discovery Center and is asking for your help.
The Discovery Center of Springfield is your nonprofit (501(c)(3), community-funded science center that turns playing today into leading tomorrow’s workforce through hands-on, experiential learning. The Discovery Center creates our future nurses, manufacturing professionals, engineers, computer scientists—some of the very careers featured on this year’s 40 under 40 list. The Discovery Center is a place where children growing up or living in poverty find hope. They are a vital part of our community’s economic health because the Discovery Center gives visitors the tools they need to determine their own future regardless of socioeconomic status.
