The Rotary Club of Pismo Beach gave $503, Grover Beach gave $580, San Luis Obispo de Tolosa gave $1,200 and Morro Bay gave $250 in donations to Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County. The funds will help the local agency provide kids in need with a caring adult mentor.
“The Rotary Club’s donations help us serve youth in San Luis Obispo County. Children mentored in our program are more likely to avoid drugs and alcohol, avoid risky behavior, and have stronger relationships with family and friends,” said Anna Boyd-Bucy, executive director.
