Funds collected from the St. Clair Inn’s celebratory grand opening last month are being donated to local youth. Lelito’s Legacy Foundation Donor Advised Fund will receive and then match a $4,500 grant from the Inn. A total of $9,000 will be used to benefit more than 115 students in 15 local middle and high school athletic programs who cannot afford pay-to-play fees.
Jeff Katofsky, owner of the St. Clair Inn, said the group wanted “to give back to the community that has so greatly supported [them] in the restoration of the Inn and helped to provide the funds for [their] first grant that will have double the impact, thanks to the match from Lelito’s Legacy Foundation Donor Advised Fund.”
Lelito’s Legacy Foundation is a registered non-profit organization that aids student athletes by eliminating financial barriers and creating healthy opportunities for deserving youth. Their programs are open to all student athletes and their grants stay in our Thumbcoast Region.
