PromoHits, 141 N. Main St., Bluffton, has committed to donating 5% of its total product sales from January-June 2019 to four local charities, according to Melinda Bowden, owner.
The initiative, titled PromoCares, provides the opportunity for local businesses that purchase products from PromoHits to designate which of the four charities they’d like their purchase to support. There is no extra cost to the business – the donations will solely come from profits PromoHits gains from the sale of its products.

It’s been awhile since Pirate fans stormed the court but they rightfully did so after Bluffton toppled reigning Northwest Conference champion Crestview by a 43-41 score.
Luke Denecker dropped in 19 points, including four three pointers to lead the Pirate offense. Denecker also matched up on defense for about half the game with Crestview’s leading scorer, Javin Etzler.
