Spectrum Internet donated $2,500 along with laptops to the Boys & Girls Club of Wayne County Wednesday.

The donation served as part of the annual back-to-school backpack giveaway.

State House Majority Leader John Bell, State Sen. Jim Perry, and Rep. Raymond Smith all attended.

Smith called the donation a game changer for young students.

"We could be a game changer. You got young people in this community who can't afford cable, who can't afford internet. They come to the Boys & Girls Club and receive the opportunity to do their homework and be able to access the internet to see the world, that other people take for granted - this is absolutely huge," Smith said.

Spectrum Networks is part of our parent company Charter Communications.
