GIVING to the Boys and Girls Club of Polk County - This Fund the First has been created to support an organization that impacts crime by taking kids off the street during the period of time, when most crimes are committed.
A nationwide study shows that when a Boys & Girls Club opens, in a tough neighborhood, negative outcomes (including a 25% Reduction in Juvenile arrests) are avoided.
That's why our Sheriff, Grady Judd is such a staunch supporter! He believes the best way to solve a crime, is to prevent it! You can watch his video here
With over 2,500 children served, your donations will go to help even more children in Polk County, Florida!

Thank you Capt. Storie and Sheriff Grady Judd for your commitment to the Kids in our community! The Boys & Girls Clubs of Polk County are near and dear to my heart; what a great organization!
