Nearly 1,100 organizations applied and Boys & Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast was selected as one of 225 to receive a Back your Block Grant from Nike!
Nike was so impressed with the quality of the organizations that applied that they were able to identify an additional $100,000 in funding to support Back Your Block grantees nationwide.
Nike is also launching their Give Nike Give Change gift card at all Nike locations in the U.S.
For each of these gift cards sold at the Destin - Silver Sands Factory Store, Nike will make an additional $5 contribution to the BGCEC.
We are honored to receive this grant and thank Bert Little and the entire team at Nike for their help and support.
