  • March 23-25, each Club will be hosting a Day in the Club and invite local community leaders to take a tour and meet the kids in their local Boys & Girls Club! Visit your local Club and learn how we are helping young people BE GREAT!
  • Kids from each Club will be giving back in their own way too! They are holding their own drives to raise money or donated items to give back to another organization in their community. They believe in the power of giving back and in the importance of community. Contact your local Club to find out more!
