One of Flagler Tiger Bay Club ’ s core missions is to assist in the development of future leaders . We accomplish this mission through our Young Tiger Program and our Scholarship Program . With approximately 40 students participating in our Young Tiger Program , the Flagler Tiger Bay Club is strongly committed and invested in accomplishing this mission and willing to provide the financial support necessary to meet and exceed our objectives .
Our first year ’ s scholarship objective provided through the Flagler County Education Foundation was $ 10,000 . Through our membership , we raised $ 20,000 , exceeding expectations .

In 2021 we were hoping to get back to the previous goal of $ 20,000 , which in and of itself would have been a stretch given the pandemic . Thanks to the leadership and tenacity of our Scholarship Chair Gary Walsh , our Club raised $ 22,000 for Flagler County students .
This year ’ s pandemic-driven Scholarship goal was $ 20,000 . Our numbers , in the process of being finalized for 2022 , are almost double the previous two years – edging close to $ 40,000 with $ 24,000 already in the bank and the remaining in pledges coming in . This is a record for the Flagler Tiger Bay Club .
We have a responsibility to our community , and to our youth , in helping to develop our future leaders .
Hats off to our membership and the Flagler Tiger Bay Club Scholarship Committee .

We also give thanks and praise to the Flagler County Education Foundation for administering this program and all of the great work that they do . As an organization , we have always believed that this type of activity is an important part of our responsibility in being good corporate citizens and making our community a better place .
