Join us in our excitement to support Arcadia Garden Club with a $20,000 "Small and Mighty" grant for a new roof! Its members are active volunteers that support nature programs in partnership with local youth-serving organizations such as @bgcsdc and the library.

Hey, Take Stock Nation! How are you giving back to others? @TSICManatee alumna Kiarra Louis (2018) served on the William G. and Marie @SelbyFoundation Scholarship Selection Committee. Kiarra stated, “As someone who benefited from scholarships, I know how much that means.”
