ABOUT THE CHARITY:
AT OUR BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND, 48% OF OUR MEMBERS LIVE IN SINGLE-PARENT HOMES OR WITH A GRANDPARENT. MOST ALL OUR CLUB FAMILIES ARE HOURLY WAGE EMPLOYEES, MANY WITH MULTIPLE JOBS.
60% of our kids live in households at or below the Federal Poverty level. The Club serves 50,000 free meals annually.
- Ask a kid why they attend the Boys & Girls Club, and they will say, "It is fun and it is safe"
OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE TO ENABLE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO NEED US MOST, TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AS PRODUCTIVE, CARING, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS.
We have enjoyed great success as an organization, but there is more to be done. We need to prepare the Club for the new generation of learners who may be left behind without access to technology and innovation to spark their interest and feed their passions. As our tourism economy grows so does the demand for workers who need extended hours of after school and summer childcare. We need to be able to serve more children and need to ensure they have access to academic programs and enrichment opportunities that they would otherwise never have.

Over the past few years, Palmetto Running Company has been working hard creating sustainable running events. We are seeking to lighten the overall environmental footprint of the event while taking steps to foster nature, conserve resources, and engage and support the local community.
