Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast, a United Way agency, has been awarded a $25,000 grant from Beazley Foundation and a $10,000 grant from SunTrust Foundation. Funds from Beazley have been used to support community outreach initiatives at Crossroads Recreation Center and the YMCA at James Monroe Elementary. The money from the SunTrust Foundation will make it possible for over 7,000 girls to develop leadership traits, character values, and entrepreneurial skills through the annual cookie program which will include financial literacy programming. The organization serves almost 11,000 girls in grades K through 12 with the help of nearly 5,000 adult volunteers in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina.
