The need in Glynn County is very real. It is something that Paul White sees daily.  That is why the president and CEO of the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation and his staff work hard to find money to help area organizations.  This year, they have outdone themselves.

The annual competitive grant cycle that began in January, culminated in June with the awarding of $82,525 in Community Impact Grants to organizations working with "At Risk Youth". 

The Halsey Family Scholarship Fund awarded two very worthy students $3,000 each for up to two academic years to help them complete their undergraduate degrees.  This year Emily Gilbert, who will be attending Georgia Tech and Alexander Anklam, who will be attending the University of Alabama in the Fall are both majoring in Aerospace Engineering.  We celebrate these outstanding students and wish them great success!
