“Giving back has always been in our DNA,” says Wendy Thacker of ScanSource, reflecting on the company's growing commitment to community engagement. In an interview with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, at ScanSource Partner First, Thacker shared how ScanSource is scaling its Impact 360 program, originally launched in Greenville, South Carolina, to new communities across the U.S., including South Haven, Mississippi, Dallas, Texas, Sacramento, California, and Tempe, Arizona. The initiative takes a 360-degree approach to student and family support, addressing education, food and clothing insecurity, physical and mental health, and enrichment experiences. Through hands-on engagement, more than 150 partners, employees, and family members have already participated in activities ranging from fall festivals and classroom takeovers to healthy eating demos. A highlight of this year's program was the involvement of Thomas Kearns Elementary School students, who designed and painted footballs that will be showcased at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The winning design, selected through a social media contest, will earn the entire class an ice cream sundae party. ScanSource's efforts are supported by the ScanSource Charitable Foundation, which has contributed over $22 million to communities since its inception. To help others replicate this success, the company created a community playbook that provides project plans, budgets, and best practices for building impactful local programs. Thacker emphasized that ScanSource partners, suppliers, and employees all play a critical role: “Helping create impact for others in the communities where they work and live is very important to us because they're part of our extended family.” For more details on ScanSource's charitable work and to download the community playbook, visit scansource.com.

Deborah Boothby was found in the middle of Blue Star Highway just outside of South Haven Michigan during the early morning hours of April 27, 1998. Initially called a hit and run accident, the case went cold with no leads into who could have done this. Then a cold case unit re-opens the case 9 years later and discovers clues that were initially missed, and start asking questions.
