Suncoast Credit Union Awards $10,000 Grant to Quality Life Center

Suncoast Credit Union has awarded Quality Life Center a grant of $10,000 for its Arts, Character & Education (ACE) Program. The grant provides funding to help support academic programs at Quality Life Center’s summer camp, which serves at-risk children, largely from the underserved Dunbar community.

“Our ACE summer camp program seeks to fight the ‘summer slide,’ said Abdul’Haq Muhammed, Executive Director at Quality Life Center. “Lower income youths lose academic achievement over summer vacation, which is a main contributor to the achievement gap between poor and middle class students. We are grateful for Suncoast Credit Union’s ongoing support and commitment to student success.”

Quality Life Center’s summer camp runs 8 weeks and began June 5.
