A $1,000 donation was made to the Palmetto Youth Center in support of its Spring Break Basketball Bash.

“We succeed when the communities in which we build succeed,” said Pat Neal, founder and chairman of Neal Communities. “Organizations like these are what help make a community a place where people want to live. We’re happy to support the work all of these organizations are doing to make our region stronger and help all of its citizens thrive.”
