2024 Flip for the Fight

SPARC Research is once again proud to have supported the annual Flip for the Fight Invitational.  During the past 15 years of this program, participants have raised $110,000 for the Virginia Breast Cancer Research Center, the Anne Clark Dollard Research Foundation and the Step-Sisters organization in honor of those who have fought, who are fighting and have lost their battle to this disease. Congratulations to all of the wonderful gymnastics programs who have participated over the years.

2023 Community Service – Warrenton Christmas Parade

Once again, SPARC Research was honored to be a sponsor of the Warrenton Christmas Parade. The beneficiary of this year’s parade was Hero’s Bridge for their dedication in serving elderly veterans, age 65 and older. The organization helps bridge the gap between veterans and a better quality of life through age specific and innovative programs. These services are available to our heroes wherever they call home, at no expense to them or their families.

Highland School Kindergarten

Dr. Hewitt shares his passion for science and math by partnering with the local schools and going into the classroom to teach. Last month he proved it’s never too early to gain a love of STEM by giving the Highland School Kindergarten class a lecture on engineering!

Kettle Run High School

Students at Kettle Run High school proved that this pandemic would not halt their progress and education through a rigorous, year-long AP Research project on a topic of their choosing. In celebration of the completion of their projects and oral defenses, a dessert celebration was held for the students, their mentors, and families. It was a great opportunity for the students to mingle and share the results of their hard work. SPARC Research’s Angel Royston mentored senior student, Peter Tessier, on his project titled, “How Likely Are Teenagers To Support Funding For Nuclear Energy?” Pictured left to right are students Ashley Hume, Mohammad Sarsour, SPARC Research’s Angel Royston, and student Peter Tessier.
