We funded genetic testing for the Turtle Patrol, contributing to the vital work of protecting our endangered sea turtles.
We continued our support of the First Union African Baptist Church Good Neighbor Fund and the Daufuskie Island Community Foundation, addressing diverse needs across the island.
Ensuring Safety and Security:
We equipped the Daufuskie Island Fire Department with critical safety equipment, enhancing their ability to protect our community.
Our completed beach sign project now provides precise location markers for emergency responders, potentially saving lives.

We played a key role in bringing accessible healthcare to Daufuskie Island by supporting the opening of a VIM (Volunteers in Medicine) clinic.
We Partnered with the DI Conservancy in a shoreline study, to help protect our beautiful island.
