We are excited to announce that our Boys & Girls Clubs are participating in the annual Cause Campaign with Ross Dress for Less! Ross Stores invests in brighter futures by supporting programs that unlock the full potential of the next generation. During the month of February, Ross customers are invited to make a donation as they check out at the register. Ross will match this donation, up to a total of $400,000! Last year’s promotion raised $3 million, with 80 percent of every dollar going to the closest local Organization; including our local Boys & Girls Club.

Merry Christmas!

The past 5 weeks are always a crazy time at our Clubs, as the year comes to an end and with Christmas just days away……2018 has again restored my FAITH. We have been inspired by the amazing generosity that comes from the communities we serve! I know you are well aware that some of the children we serve live difficult lives, and while we focus on serving children….December allows us the opportunity to help the “ENTIRE” family. Most of our families face a daily struggle for just the basic necessities. Due to the outpouring of support this year we have been able to change this “ Christmas Season” for hundreds of children and their families. We feel BLESSED and HUMBLED to play a part in helping in the effort to get these items into the homes that need them the most, we have been able to provide :
-Dinner with Santa
-Live Reindeer with Santa
-Holiday Parties at all locations
-Clothes-coats-socks-underwear-shoes-boots-sneakers
-Gift cards
-Towels-sheets-blankets-comforters-pillows- beds-cribs
-Bikes- toys
– Boxes of Love- which is a box filled with enough food for the Christmas Season and then some, including a turkey or ham

All of this comes to us from all corners of our communities….churches, businesses, individuals, service groups and organizations…….so many that if I start naming them I will forget someone….I know myself that well ! This is a CLEAR MESSAGE……that so many of you care about those less fortunate in our communities.

SO THANK YOU !! For whatever part you have played in helping us to make this Christmas a special time for our children and their families. We LIVE our MISSION all 12 months of the year…….but each DECEMBER is always a memorable time for our Boys & Girls Clubs. We send our heartfelt thanks to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas Season and our hope for a great 2019 filled with the best life has to offer!

God Bless us each and every one.
