WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeastern North Carolina have received a large donation.

UScellular has announced a $32,000 donation to the New Hanover County group as part of a $1 million grant to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

“Our Boys & Girls Club is thrilled to work with UScellular once again to support STEM education for kids right here in New Hanover County,” said Dawn-Michele Blalock, chief executive officer of Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern North Carolina. “Thanks to this partnership, children and teens are experiencing new opportunities and impact-driven programming to support them in achieving the bright futures that they deserve.”
