Through extensive interviews, Holloway found that many patients did not take their medications because they did not understand the instructions on their bottles.

Like most non-profit organizations, the Bluffton Jasper Volunteers in Medicine (BJVIM) depends on grants and donations to keep their doors open. However, there are other ways to give back that can help.
Pam Toney, executive director of BJVIM, said a great way to raise money and market your own business is to sponsor an event. Earlier this year, Tiger Bass sponsored its 9th Annual 5K/12K Race for runners and walkers of all ages. The event included an after party, food trucks, live music, face painting and more. This is the second year BJVIM has received funds from Tiger Bass. Last year, Tiger Bass raised $14,000.
