Our Echoes in Action

Fueled by Community Generosity: Thank You, Kohn’s Filling Station!

That’s not just a big check, it’s a big boost for our mission! Thank you Kohn's!

Echo Connections was recently selected as a recipient of the Fueling it Forward Program through Kohn’s Filling Station during the month of February 2025. As part of this initiative, Echo received $0.02 from every gallon of gas purchased at their dedicated Fueling it Forward pump, and thanks to the community’s support, that added up to a meaningful donation.

This contribution will go directly toward advancing our mission: to provide accessible education, mentorship, networking opportunities, and vetted resources to entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and individuals of all ages. Whether it’s supporting a new business owner, offering guidance to a young professional, or hosting events that bring our community together, this funding helps us continue creating real impact.

We are incredibly grateful to Kohn’s Filling Station, not only for their generosity but for their commitment to giving back to the local community in such a thoughtful and sustainable way.

To everyone who chose to fill up at the Fueling it Forward pump—thank you. Your everyday action helped make a difference.

At Echo Connections, we believe that when community shows up for each other, great things happen—and this is a beautiful example of just that.
