As part of our Rooted in Gratitude: Give Thanks & Give campaign, we’re honoring the Paul Family — the heartbeat behind Bayshore Education Center. 💙

Guided by the values instilled by Pastor Jean and Marie Paul, the Paul Family has served this community through faith, love, and sacrifice — raising 10 children (ages 27–53) whose legacy continues through grandchildren, cousins, aunts, uncles, and family friends giving their time, resources, money, and prayers. 🌿

Their message has always been: “We are blessed to be a blessing.”

💙 Comment below and share how the Paul Family has impacted you or your family — we’d love to hear your story.

As part of our Rooted in Gratitude: Give Thanks & Give campaign, I want to personally thank the Kent Family on behalf of Bayshore Education Center for their incredible generosity, kindness, and love. 💙

I’ve been blessed to participate and volunteer in Bayshore’s sports, literacy, entrepreneurship, and reading programs — opportunities that shaped me into who I am today. Those camps and experiences are memories I’ll cherish forever.

The Kent Family’s impact on my life goes far beyond their long-time friendship with my family. They embraced me as one of their own and continuously extended their resources to Bayshore over several years — faithfully sponsoring programs that changed lives, including mine.

Because of their generosity, and others like them who have poured into this mission, I was able to dream big, travel the world through basketball, and extend my education — which is the foundation of our organization. I am a Winged Foot Award winner and graduate from the Community School of Naples, and I was honored to play basketball for and earn two degrees from the University of Georgia. Now I am back home to serve the next generation at Bayshore, so they can have more opportunities than I ever had.

Thank you, Moe and Dot Kent, and every supporter who continues to believe in Bayshore’s vision. Your kindness, generosity, and unwavering support make a lasting difference in the lives of countless families. 🌿

With love and gratitude,
— Stephanie Paul
Executive Director, Bayshore Education Center

November is a month of thanks — and at Bayshore Education Center, we’re using this season to reflect on where God has brought us and give back to those who’ve helped us along the way.

For 22 years, Bayshore has been a place of faith, education, and opportunity, built from a vision God placed in the heart of Pastor Jean Paul — a vision he continues to live out and lead today.

Through his leadership, countless families have been served, students empowered, and volunteers inspired to give of their time, talent, and love.

This month, we celebrate that legacy through our campaign:
✨ Rooted in Gratitude: Give Thanks & Give

We’re thanking those who’ve helped Bayshore grow — and calling on our community to continue the mission by giving in meaningful ways.

Because gratitude isn’t just what we feel — it’s what we do. 🌿
