Every year 23,000 youth age out of the foster care system with no family to count on. Thank you @PlummerPromise for all the work you do supporting these young people and so many youth and families across our community.

We are so proud of the work happening at the Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center. Considered one of the most outstanding grants to wildlife conservation efforts in North America, the area remains one of the premier nesting locations for endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtles. #SouthCarolina
One nest was located in the Cape Romain National Wildlife Rescue on North Cape Island, and the second was found on South Island in the Yawkey Wildlife Center.
