The Boys & Girls Clubs are embarking on our biggest program each year, OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM. The Boys & Girls Club after-school programs ensure that, in those critical after-school hours, participating children are in a safe place with professional caring adult staff and volunteers. Every day, children are able to channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits through our three core areas of programming: Academic Success & Career Preparation, Character & Leadership, and Healthy Lifestyles.

We serve the children who need us the most. It costs well over $1,000 to serve one child for the entire school year. Our membership dues are only $35 for the entire school year. Even at this rate, 75% of our Club members receive scholarships to attend the program based on family circumstances.

We are asking you to make a contribution to sponsor a child in our after school program. If you can’t afford a sponsorship for the entire year, we ask that you consider giving what you can to this important program.

A contribution of $10 (or more) will help sponsor a child for the 2013-2014 school year!

You can donate online at www.bgcng.org/donate or send your check to: Boys & Girls Club
PO Box 649, Jasper, GA 30143. Thank you!
