Civitans
Thanks to the partnership with Civitans, the first cottage at BGHNCÂ opened in 1958.
The Civitans of North Carolina make individual member and club visits with the children in the Civitan Cottage, and occasionally host them on fun and educational trips off-campus. They make personal and club contributions and assist in refurbishing and replacing items for the cottage when needed. Civitan clubs across North Carolina have joined together to ensure in the future of the cottage so that children will always have the opportunity to call Civitan Cottage their home.
