Central Coast Funds for Children has awarded $1,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters’ School Based program. Central Coast Funds for Children was established to benefit children in need with special services in San Luis Obispo County and are a publicly supported, non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization.
Anna Boyd-Bucy said “We are so thankful for Central Coast Funds for Children’s support. Their donation will help our School Based program at Sinsheimer Elementary, where each mentor relationship will result in two youth served. These children go on to have higher educational aspirations, greater confidence and better relationships with family and friends.”
