When the Citi Salutes Network-Dallas was alerted to the theft of the R. L. Turner High School NJROTC Cadets team trailer and camping equipment during Spring Break, members of the Network reached out with a plan to replace the stolen items.

The Citi Dallas team provided funding to the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Education Foundation to purchase a new trailer. The new camping equipment was also purchased and presented to the Cadets in August at the beginning of the new school year.
