Community Foundation Supports Literacy at Boys and Girls Clubs

The Giving Coast

Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties (BGCSDC) received support from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to enhance structured literacy instruction to elementary-age youth participating in the organization’s Great Futures Academy Summer program (GFA). The grant was provided through the Ira and Patricia Strauss Fund for Children’s Literacy, the Allen Wirtz Nobbe and Jo Bowen Nobbe Fund, the Leslie and Margaret Weller Fund, and the Bert and Betty Rosen Fund. This support provided Club members in grades K-2 the tools, resources, and academic support they needed to prevent summer learning loss. To learn more about BGCSDC, visit bgcsdc.org.
