ABOUT THE CLEVE BOSTICK MEMORIAL FOUNDATION
The Cleve Bostick Memorial Foundation was set up shortly after the untimely death of Cleve Bostick on August 13, 2006. He had a gift for touching people’s lives, and it is because of that gift, his family and friends created the Cleve Bostick Memorial Foundation. The Foundation provides funding for numerous programs and activities in Southwest Georgia w
