arm, the Bolton Foundation, were presented with Five Acres’ 2015 Special Service to Children Award, at
their 127th Annual meeting. The award recognized Bolton’s high standard of excellence and outstanding
achievements in supporting Five Acres and their mission to provide children and families with shelter,
healthcare, and compassion.
