Brief History
South Fulton Boys Club expanded in order to double its capacity and serve 1,000 boys. The club was equipped with a swimming pool, gymnasium, and other renovations realized with funding from Mr. Jesse Draper and members of his family. In 1969, the Club’s name was changed to honor Mr. Jesse Draper, recognizing his tremendous contribution and dedicated devotion to ensuring our community assists disadvantaged youth by providing access to quality programs and services.
