"Thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation, the Boys & Girls Club of Bluffton was able to expand our building to add a 2,700 square foot Literacy Center of Excellence, doubling the size of our reading intervention program. This addition will have a direct impact on young peoples' reading skills, focus, motivation and self-esteem."
