Boys Home Gifted $10,000 for Facilities Campaign from the Community Foundation of Acadiana and Grimes Family Fund

Boys Home Executive Director Chris Doyle presented Middle School Teacher Susie Keller with the check

In July, Boys Home received a $10,000 donation toward our facilities campaign. The donation was made by Clifton Forge native, John Grimes. His main objective with the gift was to honor the Boys Home mission and the staff who make it possible. In particular, he wanted to recognize Susie Keller, a current staff member. Boys Home is grateful for this generous gift!

The facilities campaign is ongoing, as essential improvements are needed. These projects are crucial for ensuring the safety and comfort of the young men in our care. If you would like to contribute, please visit givetoboyshome.org. On the screen for additional details, select “Facilities” in the drop-down menu for ‘gift type.’ You may also mail in a check to Boys Home of Virginia, 414 Boys Home Road, Covington, VA 24426. Please include “Facilities Campaign” in the memo line.
