Cheyenne Data Center

Last week, Meta joined Laramie County School District 1 and our industry partners at BomgaarsSupply Corporate to celebrate the first graduating cohort of the LCSD #1 Trades Academy!

This year, 29 seniors are stepping into local trade positions or enrolling in higher-education trade programs, and we couldn't be more proud of their hard work and dedication.

To help jump-start their next chapter, Meta was proud to donate funds to purchase each Trades Academy student their first set of work boots. It's a small investment in young people who are going to make a big impact in Cheyenne and Laramie County for years to come.

A huge thank you to all of the industry partners who showed up throughout the year to mentor, teach, and inspire these students. This celebration was a chance for our students to feel the support of an entire community behind them.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 Trades Academy graduates. We're proud to support workforce development in the communities we call home, and we can't wait to see where these careers take you!

Recently, Meta was proud to sponsor and attend the Make-A-Wish Wyoming Serving Up Wishes event right here in Cheyenne. It was a truly special evening dedicated to helping grant life-changing wishes for children facing critical illnesses across our state.

A huge thank you to Make-A-Wish Wyoming for putting on such an incredible event and for the meaningful work you do every single day. The dedication and heart your team brings to granting wishes and supporting these kids and their families is nothing short of inspiring.

We also want to give a big shout-out to the University of Wyoming athletes who came out and helped make the night so much fun. Your energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to connect with everyone in the room made a real difference and added something special to the evening.

Events like this remind us why community matters so much. Meta is proud to support organizations like Make-A-Wish Wyoming that are making a real difference in the communities we call home.
