YES Family Fund Grant announces recipients

The Yearly Employee Support (YES) Family Fund is one of 1,200 funds within the MUSC Foundation that is supported by employees giving during the YES Campaign.

This fund provides grants to projects that positively impact the mission of MUSC through education, patient care and research.

"Without YES Family Fund Grants, many of these programs would not exist," said Whitney McLuen, campaign coordinator. "We received 33 applications this year, all worthy projects. Unfortately we only had funding for 13 of them."
