BFR launches 2016 annual campaign - with $60,000 goal
Bluffton Family Recreation has launched its 2016 annual campaign, according to Joseph Beagle, director.
The campaign’s goal of $60,000 will assist BFR in upgrading its existing programs, fitness center and sports services.
“BFR continues to reinvent itself by adding new and upgrading our existing programs, in addition to providing the community with a fitness center and sports services,” he said.

• Our Silver Sneakers exercise class is continuing to grow and are held every Wednesday and Friday at 9:45 a.m.
• Fit for Life membership – includes a six-week membership, fitness program design and four any-class visits. Participants are assigned a health coach and meet weekly to establish healthy habits while working toward specific fitness goals.
• Expansion of youth basketball league program to include fifth and sixth grade boys’ competitive leagues, and fourth grade developmental leagues for boys and girls.
• Continued interest in U6 soccer, tee ball, BSSL soccer, indoor soccer, youth volleyball and adults co-ed softball and volleyball leagues.
