The Towbes Foundation recently awarded a $2,500 grant to the Santa Barbara School of Squash, a 501(c)(3) youth enrichment nonprofit.
Funding will be used to support academic tutoring and educational excellence programming for the underprivileged youth participants of SBSOS.
“We are extremely grateful for this generous award. This charitable support from the Towbes Foundation shows a great commitment to education in our community,” said Debbie Brown, executive director of SBSOS. “This funding helps make the future brighter for our youth, and doubles our determination to see them succeed academically.”
The Santa Barbara School of Squash is a member of the National Urban Squash and Education Association, a nonprofit founded in 2005 to promote squash and education among urban youth.
