The Giving Coast

North Port Area Chamber of Commerce presented the Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club with the 2020 Non-Profit Business of the Year Award on December 17 during its Annual Awards Luncheon. “What makes the Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club special is the opportunities the children get through the programs we provide,” said Chris Masucci, Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club Director. “I have watched many of our members get scholarships, awards and confidence through our award-winning programs. These members grow up to be more successful and have a better idea of what they want to do in life as adults whether it be going the college route or jumping right into a career through a trade school.”
