Shout out to First Tee - Savannah for all the amazing work this grant will support!

September was National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month! In recognition of this, the Savannah Business Group Executive Committee, which is the board for Savannah Health Alliance, approved grant amounts to organizations making a difference in our community. Savannah Health Alliance (SHA) supports SBG in community programs, and several years ago, a grant was issued to SHA for childhood obesity. As part of this grant, First Tee-Savannah was awarded $4,000 to continue their mission of supporting local children and families.

First Tee-Savannah empowers young people by integrating golf with a life skills curriculum that builds character, self-confidence, and resilience. They reach students through after-school programs, PE classes, community partnerships, and free clinics offering physical activity in a fun, supportive setting. Through movement, structured play, coaching, and mentorship First Tee gives kids tools to stay active, make healthier choices, and develop habits that help prevent childhood obesity.

Congratulations to First Tee-Savannah! We’re excited to support their work as they help youth grow strong both in body and character!

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month! In recognition of this, the Savannah Business Group Executive Committee, which is the board for Savannah Health Alliance, approved grant amounts to organizations making a difference in our community. Savannah Health Alliance (SHA) supports SBG in community programs, and several years ago, a grant was issued to SHA for childhood obesity. As part of this grant, PACK was awarded $4,000 to continue their mission of supporting local children and families.

PACK (“People of Action Caring for Kids”) started in 2014 and has grown into an amazing nonprofit that serves thousands of children across the Savannah area. They provide food, clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items so kids have what they need to grow and succeed.

One of the biggest ways they make an impact is through their food programs. By making sure kids have regular access to healthy meals, they’re helping fight childhood obesity and giving kids the fuel they need to focus in school, stay active, and build healthy habits that last.

We’re proud to support PACK and the difference they’re making for children and families in our community!
