Week one of Summer Adventure Camp is in the books and we are primed for another GREAT summer! 🌞

Our members spent the week reading, building, competing, and creating. From summer reading challenges and K'Nex builds to ping pong, foosball, basketball and dodgeball on the court, there was something for everyone and plenty of fun for all. To cap it off, our teens wrapped up the week as guests of the Greenwood Rotary Club at a local baseball game. ⚾💙

Such a GREAT start to another summer full of friends, fun and adventure! There is still time to register: https://portal.begreatacademy.com.

Our Springdale Elementary members had a lot to celebrate at the BE GREAT End-of-Year Showcase, and Tropical Smoothie Cafe in West Columbia helped us do it right.

Thank you for sponsoring the celebration and serving up smoothies while our members walked families through everything they learned about Jamaica, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. From Bob Marley to Mauna Loa to the coqui frog, our kids were proud to share their work, and you made the celebration feel special.🌴🌺🍍🏝️🎊

Grateful for partners who invest in Great Futures.💙

We are beyond grateful. 💙 Yesterday, donors across the Midlands showed up for children and families in a big way and every single gift made a difference. Every great future starts with a seed of opportunity. 🌱

We are especially thankful to Central Carolina Community Foundation for providing the platform that makes Midlands Gives possible, and for their extraordinary support of local nonprofits and Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands.
