On Wednesday, the Bolivar Peninsula Lions Club proudly distributed proceeds from the Second Annual Golf Cart Poker Run. The fun community event, held in early August, raised over $18K to purchase school supplies for High Island and Crenshaw students. Checks were presented to each of the school principals based on the number of students enrolled. The Lions Club is committed to the support of all Bolivar Peninsula students and to helping each student achieve academic success. School supplies are essential to ensuring our students have the tools to bring out their greatest potential. Second only to the inspiring teachers that care. Here’s to another great school year!

Ecstatic reactions when recipients were told the amount of the donation. And the “Aha!” moment when they realize how much it helps their schools.
