The trip is on the more expensive side and some of the students cannot participate without the financial support from local caring individuals and area businesses. The goal was to raise $100,000. Caldwell Trust Co. wanted to help. Kelly Caldwell and his wife, Melissa, hosted a fundraiser at the Caldwell Trust Co. headquarters in Venice to seek donations. Overall, the group reached 80% of its goal. Kelly and Melissa truly believe in the program. Their son, Zachary Caldwell, 12, who is in his second year (seventh grade) at Venice Middle School, has grown into a well-disciplined young man who possesses excellent leadership skills and much respect for his fellow young marines.
