He also reminded and encouraged the crowd to applaud legislators from all political parties who saw the importance of
the project and offered their support.
Along with the crushed stone, Martin Marietta donated $15,000 to the project to help fund the park’s mission of
teaching the thousands of students who visit the state’s Capital District each year.
“A primary thing that drew us to this park was its mission toward education,” Dixon said. “To know that our company is
helping impact the next generation of scholars is incredible.”

Bahama Rocks Team Donates Time and Supplies to Children in Need
As 2023 drew to a close, Martin Marietta’s Bahama Rock team made a meaningful impact on the community by donating
groceries and toiletries to the newly built pantry at the Grand Bahama Children’s Home.

The Grand Bahama Children’s Home plays a crucial role in the island’s northern region. It provides a haven for
abandoned, abused and neglected children. It offers a nurturing environment where they can receive the attention, safety
and compassion they need to envision a brighter future.
The organization says it takes pride in its commitment to providing the best care for children so that they can heal and thrive.
During the holiday season, the crew at Bahama Rock spent about four hours shopping and volunteering. They selected
groceries, toiletries and toys for the children, helped offload delivered supplies and restocked the pantry shelves.
“This event was incredible and showed many in the
community how our company can make such a substantial
impact,” said Sanadia Smith, a clerk at the site. “Not only
are we supporting our local grocery and toy stores during
tough economic times in the Bahamas, but we are also
choosing to donate to these children who are struggling.”

The event was a huge success, leaving both the children
and the volunteers with an incredible feeling of hope to
close out the year.

“Our team was elated and humbled as we put smiles on the kids’ faces,” Smith said. “Martin Marietta showed these
children that there are people in the community who still care for them.”
