This month spotlights two non-profit organizations which benefited from our most recent July Grant Giving Ceremony: The Island School Located in Boca Grande, Florida, the mission of The Island School is to create an educational environment which stresses academic excellence while nurturing the spirit of the child. The MSC Foundation’s grant will go toward funding its after school youth program for students whose parents work or live on Gasparilla Island.
