Sponsor a child at the Boys & Girls Club

The Boys & Girls Club is making a big difference to families as they work to move forward and recover from all the challenges the pandemic has brought on in the last two years. With help from supporters like you, the Club is able to provide scholarships for families who are experiencing financial hardships. These scholarships for the Boys & Girls Club's childcare programs ensure that kids are getting the safe environment, academic support, and social emotional learning that they need to thrive while at the same time making sure parents can work and provide for their families.

A mom named Christy says, I am a single parent and depend upon the Boys & Girls Club for a safe, healthy, environment for my son before and after school. He is not old enough to be alone for a length of time and complete his homework alone. Although I am working full time again, I am still in a financial deficit from the pandemic and making ends meet remains a challenge. The Boys & Girls Club's assistance through the scholarship program is greatly appreciated."

Like Christy's family, the Boys & Girls Club is also still in a financial deficit from the pandemic. Your support helps make sure that even through the Club's own financial challenges, families like Christy's can continue to depend on the Boys & Girls Club. Thank you for all you do for the kids at the Boys & Girls Club!

We’re all in this together is a phrase that has been said so many times since the pandemic began. At the Club, we know that means we have to be an organization that the community can count to do whatever takes to help the kids and families who need us most.

One of our office managers talks about what it means to her to be there for families. “Sometimes, being there for families is as simple as asking, ‘Is everything OK?’ and working together to find a solution if they tell you it’s not. A wonderful 3-year-old boy named Carson joined our program at the start of the school year. He’s smart, he loves to learn, and he’s a very polite little boy who is full of manners. He LOVES coming to school. After a couple of months, I noticed that his dad started falling behind in his tuition payments and was consistently late for about 4 weeks. I spoke to his dad and asked that simple question – ‘Is everything okay?’. That’s when he shared that he is a single dad who just recently got full custody of his son. He is trying his best to raise his son on his own. He said that he lost his job and had been doing his best to make ends meet, but it’s been a struggle. I shared his situation with our Director and she helped him with our scholarship program application. Carson’s dad was very thankful and he qualified for a 50% discount on his son’s tuition rate. He has voiced his appreciation for our help many times as he gets back on his feet financially, and he is extremely appreciative for all the ways that our programs are helping Carson grow and learn.”

The Club is committed to being there for families like Carson’s, now and always. Just as their family works to build back up after a financial setbacks due to the pandemic, the Club is working toward financial recovery from the pandemic, too. Your support helps make sure that the Club can keep our doors open and always be here for the kids and families who need us most.
