BGCAPP: Worker’s Community Service Packs a Punch

Published: September 20, 2011 | Category: BGCAPP Videos, People Videos

Community involvement has always been a cornerstone of the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant mission. For project Security Manager Emmitt Igo, community involvement is a life calling. Emmitt has lived almost his entire life in Richmond, and has used boxing as a way to give back to his city and its youth. See how he uses his facility and his knowledge of “the sweet science” to reach out to local youth.
