“Ole South has been an incredible partner for more than three years,” said Ginny Wright, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Tennessee. “We are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment to the children and families we serve, and for believing in the future we’re building in Spring Hill.”
As Spring Hill continues to grow, so does the need for accessible, high-quality after-school programs. Since 2022, the Boys & Girls Clubs’ average daily attendance in Spring Hill has more than doubled—from 71 to over 150 youth across four school-based sites. In response to this rapid growth, the organization is actively exploring the development of a standalone Club facility in Spring Hill to better serve the community’s evolving needs.
Jason Beavers, Vice President of Land Acquisition at Ole South Properties, emphasized the importance of investing in youth:
“I believe it’s important for businesses in Tennessee to support the Boys and Girls Club to provide and prepare children for the future with mentoring, academic assistance and other life skills.
Beavers also encouraged other business leaders to witness the impact firsthand:
“I believe it’s important for businesses in Tennessee to support the Boys and Girls Club to provide and prepare children for the future with mentoring, academic assistance and other life skills. If anyone is unsure if their donation is making a difference call and make an appointment with the staff. Go see what they’re providing for the children. It truly is a wonderful organization”
The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Tennessee continues to break down financial and social barriers for local youth by offering programs focused on academic success, healthy lifestyles, and strong character development. Thanks to Ole South’s continued investment, more children in Spring Hill will have access to safe spaces, caring mentors, and the resources they need to reach their full potential.
