Spartanburg Water Provides Grant Support to Play.Advocate.LiveWell (PAL)
February 11th 2025
Grant will help fund the Spartanburg organization’s Watershed Ecology Educational Stations.
Play.Advocate.Live Well. (PAL) was recently awarded a grant for $13,000 by Spartanburg Water to assist with encouraging the community to use and engage in the Daniel Morgan Trail System.
Spartanburg Water presented PAL with a check for the grant on January 30, which represented equal contributions from both the Commission of Public Works of the City of Spartanburg and the Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District Commission.
The mission of PAL advances active living, promotes eating healthy and fosters health equity. The focus and goal of PAL is to improve health and wellness throughout Spartanburg County by creating environment and culture that fosters physical activity and healthy eating through an equity lens. PAL identifies itself as a small non-profit working to enact large scale change.
PAL’s grant will be used to build “watershed ecology educational stations” focused directly on providing an educational experience, increasing understanding of the watershed ecology specific to the local region, and encouraging the community to engage in the Daniel Morgan Trail System.
“The trail system that we have here in Spartanburg is such a wonderful and unique gift,” said Guy Boyle, Spartanburg Water CEO. “We are glad to partner with PAL to ensure the continued vitality of the trail system through a shared commitment to improving our watershed, which positively impacts one of our community’s greatest resources – drinking water.”
