"As a non-profit organization, we rely upon donations of time and services for our marketing needs. We are honored that a company the caliber of Thomas Digital Design would donate their time to design and optimize our new website," said current Guardsmen President, Todd Upp. "The new design is the ideal showcase for our work and furthers our goal of raising money to send underprivileged youngsters in our community to outdoor education programs and providing private school scholarship support."
