Exciting News

The Board of Trustees has recently voted to expand the scope of our cause. We are really excited to announce two new projects that we are taking on. First, we are going to begin offering a few annual scholarships to local high school students. A committee is being formed that will finalize the format & requirements, then they will be responsible for evaluating applications and making recommendations to the Board of Trustees for a final vote. We thought that this would be a great way to give back to the Sumter community that has been so incredibly gracious to us over the years.

Second is a really big project that we are going to need a LOT of help with. Sumter County is one of the few counties in South Carolina that has never had any sort of memorial for fallen law enforcement. We thought that with the new Judicial Center having recently opened that it would be a great time to consider sponsoring such a project. Last Wednesday a vote was unanimously made to move forward with this idea. This year's tournament will be dedicated to raising funds to erect a monument honoring local fallen officers. There will be some new opportunities coming soon to be able to help with this great cause.

Please spread the word and help us honor those that have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect us all.
