BOSS COMMUNITY GIVING PROJECTS
Each year we strive to partner with a local non-profit group to fulfill our giving mission. We partner with one non-profit and provide financial and volunteer support. Non-profits receive $5,000 and support from BOSS volunteers to perform work on the selected project. Non-profits are encouraged to apply for this opportunity. We are proud of the projects we have supported!
