About Us

CAGE is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to improve the quality of life in the Seven and Six Mile Communities located in Mount Pleasant, SC. However, this geographic area does not represent the limitations of our involvement. Members of the organization recognize that neighboring communities face the same issues that affect the Six and Seven Mile Communities. CAGE has expanded its efforts to include communities from Mount Pleasant to McClellanville, SC.

CAGE is an information magnet for the Community. The organization’s experience as well as the myriad of experiences of its members recognizes that access to accurate information in a timely manner is perhaps the key to creating and fostering a cohesive and productive community environment.
