The Boys & Girls Club of Marion County has unveiled a revamped technology room at the Dunnellon Clubhouse, which was sponsored by Coca-Cola Florida.

The room features state-of-the-art equipment and tools tailored to meet the evolving needs of young learners, providing them with a platform to develop critical digital skills and pursue innovative projects, noted the news release.

“We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the generosity of Coke Florida in transforming our technology lab at our Dunnellon Clubhouse. The Coke Florida team spent hours painting, upgrading flooring, replacing curtains with mini blinds, assembling furniture and providing essential technology such as 10 laptops and an interactive whiteboard have truly elevated our space,” said B&G Club CEO April Savarese on social media.

Among those on hand for a ribbon cutting event on Jan. 15, hosted by the Dunnellon Chamber and Business Association, was Travis Warren, senior manager of public affairs and community relations for Coke Florida.
