FOUNDATION NEWS COMMUNITY SUPPORT TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN T he PHSC Take Stock in Children (TSIC) program for Hernando County is a pre- collegiate, drop-out prevention program that provides mentors, scholarships and hope for a better future to deserving children who are academically qualified but considered at-risk due to socioeconomic factors. PHSC proudly partners with the award winning mentoring program which recently promoted fundraising events to support its endeavors and provide scholarships to students. The annual TSIC 5K run/walk took place in February at the PHSC Spring Hill Campus. Current TSIC scholars along with students from the Sun Lake Key Club volunteered their time to greet participants, coordinate registration, and cheer runners along the course route. Medallions were distributed for 1 st , 2 nd , and 3 rd place in both the run and walk categories. The inaugural TSIC golf tournament was held in May at Brooksville Country Club.
