Last Friday, April 17, the room was filled with more than just attendees—it was filled with hope. As we celebrated Syntero’s 50th Anniversary, we were reminded that while our history is deep, our future is incredibly bright.
The morning’s energy was set perfectly by the incredible sounds of Ashley, Ceylon Sr., and Ceylon Jr. from The Wise Mosaic. As a nonprofit partner that intertwines art and mental wellness, their music provided the perfect backdrop for a morning centered on healing and leadership. Thank you for setting the mood for our entire celebration! 🎶🎨
To our 50 student honorees: You left us feeling inspired to look at our own communities and ask, "How can I make a difference?" Your stories of service and leadership are the spark we all need.
