L.B. Foster Sponsoring Open Field's Future Forward Program

John Kasel, President & CEO of L.B. Foster, says: "We are proud to sponsor Open Field's Future Forward Soccer League and are confident that our donation and sponsorship will have a positive impact on those involved. The organization aligns with our SPIRIT model of Company values, which is a testament to our commitment to excellence in everything we do. We are excited to support a local, Pittsburgh-based organization that has a global reach and gives our employees an opportunity to give back to our home community."

L.B. Foster is sponsoring Open Field's Spring league, which is eight weeks total running through June 8,2024, and consists of 80 youth with six boys' teams and three girls' teams. Throughout the league, each week will have a different theme connected to post-secondary success. The final day will culminate with a college and career fair alongside soccer games. Activities like college visits and soccer tournaments will continue throughout the year.

On Saturday, May 4, 2024, every participant in the league received L.B. Foster branded jerseys including shirts, shorts, and socks fostering a sense of community. During the event, there was a workshop with a personality quiz and discussion linking the results to career options.

We are excited to continue to support the organization and their mission of improving the lives of youth through sport and building skills for a successful future.
