Join Birgitta in supporting BGCC!

Hi Friends --

I have worked with the Boys & Girls Club now for almost 5 years!

This year, I am particularly proud of the Club's dedication to improving the social-emotional wellness of local youth.

I am also thrilled we can offer more opportunities to elementary students, teenagers, AND parents this year. For example, BGCC offered a workshop on IEPs and 504s to Spanish-speaking parents and another workshop offering students help with college applications. Very exciting!

Even a $10 gift helps us win additional prize money. Please consider supporting us today. :) 

Many, many thanks for helping give these kids the tools they need! 

Birgitta
