When you read about the history of Northern Light, one thing clearly stands out above the rest: this community develops students who are engaged and empowered – not just as students, but as citizens!

Play ball! Our friend and legendary MLB pitcher, Vida Blue, sits down on The Vida Blue Field of Dreams to discuss his legacy on and off the field. He was known for being the hardest-throwing lefty and first African-American pitcher to start an All-Star game, but what’s even more inspiring than his career is his generosity and desire to give back.

Do you or anyone you know have a car, boat, or RV (running or not) that isn’t being used? Donate it to Cars 2nd Chance to raise money for Northern Light and the greater community!
