Districts in Action 2023

August 10, 2023
Every year, we call upon our GBU districts to select an organization in their local area to support. This is known as the Districts in Action program. The 2023 Districts in Action program helped support a variety of causes, including food banks, burn camps, animal shelters and rehabilitation facilities. We are proud to announce that GBU and its members donated a total of $61,654 to support organizations located in PA, MI, OH, IL, NJ, MN, and AZ
