Members of the Right to Life community can now get their own specialty license tags while raising money for pregnancy care centers across the state.

Those in the Native American Prison program will be able to use funds from its specialty license tag to reimburse its volunteers who visit with prisoners to conduct group sessions and cultural teachings.

And because of a new law, those obtaining a Marine Corps League specialty plate will provide aid to young Marines in need, lend support to Toys For Tots and 'do more good work,' said the league's state commandant, Gene Wilbur.

These and other nonprofit groups obtained this new avenue of fund raising Thursday when Gov. Mark Sanford came to Greenville to sign a bill to simplify and streamline the process of obtaining specialty tags."
