The Sportsmen and Businessmen’s Charitable Organization (SBCO) is pleased to award $32,000 to local educators across Coffee County, Manchester City, and Tullahoma City Schools through its Educational Enrichment Grant opportunity. SBCO’s Educational Enrichment Grant encourages local educators to submit innovative, outside-the-box opportunities for their students and schools that may encompass science, technology, engineering & math (STEM), literacy, physical activity, social/emotional, to fine arts or career readiness. Over $102,000 has been contributed to local educators, impacting thousands of students across the three school districts since the grant program’s inception in 2018.
“This year’s selected recipients, through a highly competitive grant application cycle, represent our continued interest in and support of the outstanding work educators do for their students and our community,” said Carter Sain, SBCO President.
