Bluffton Family Recreation has launched its 2016 annual campaign, according to Joseph Beagle, director.
The campaign’s goal of $60,000 will assist BFR in upgrading its existing programs, fitness center and sports services.

• Our Silver Sneakers exercise class is continuing to grow and are held every Wednesday and Friday at 9:45 a.m.
• Fit for Life membership – includes a six-week membership, fitness program design and four any-class visits. Participants are assigned a health coach and meet weekly to establish healthy habits while working toward specific fitness goals.
• Expansion of youth basketball league program to include fifth and sixth grade boys’ competitive leagues, and fourth grade developmental leagues for boys and girls.
• Continued interest in U6 soccer, tee ball, BSSL soccer, indoor soccer, youth volleyball and adults co-ed softball and volleyball leagues.
