GSCCC kicks off pacesetter campaigns for United Way agencies

Last week, Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast (GSCCC) staff kicked off pacesetter campaigns for their four United Way partner agencies:Albemarle Area United Way, Inc., Franklin-Southampton Area United Way, United Way of South Hampton Roads and United Way of the Virginia Peninsula.

GSCCC partners with United Way of the Virginia Peninsula frequently to bring unique programs to girls on the peninsula. Through the partnership, GSCCC is able to expose girls to STEM, leadership and life skill building activities, and so much more.

Thank you to Trish Tsitsera, Kevin Lyles, Duncan Alonso and Bill Blake for joining us to share the great work done in our community and thank you for supporting GSCCC!
