Because of the support of generous donors like yourself, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland was able to bring smiles to thousands of well-deserving youth this holiday season. Not only were gifts responsible for bringing joy, but the Clubs were decorated to celebrate the various holidays of the season. Festivities also included gingerbread houses, holiday crafts, and homemade gifts for Club members to give to their family members. Each Club also hosted a Holiday Celebration that brought together Club members and their families for a sit-down meal.
As the holidays draw to a close and we welcome a new year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland would like to thank you for your support. We appreciate your generosity and compassion and we wish you the best for a happy and healthy 2012!
