We have been approved as a 501 c 3 so we can expand our ability to help improve lives in our community. We are grateful for the support the community has expressed to date and feel confident that approval of our tax exempt status will help us expand the programs to truly make a difference in the coastal bend fight for healthy lifestyles. All proceeds will be reinvested in programs that provide tangible improvement in the physical and mental health of our participants.
The program is currently offered through the Boys and Girls Club, but has several additional opportunities that we are currently working on that we hope to be able to announce soon.
