Through 26 Clubs, dedicated staff, volunteers and donors, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA) provides hope, promise, and opportunity to more than 17,000 children and teens each year. From positive role models to hands-on experience with technology, artistic endeavors and athletics, we provide avenues to our kids, which help them to reach their full potential and strive for a bright future.

Our mission is simple, but incredibly powerful. We provide quality developmental programs that empower Metro Atlanta youth, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to become productive adults.

Proceeds from Putt for Promise will support the organization’s gender-specific programming initiatives – SMART Girls and Passport to Manhood. These programs benefit young women and young men in the areas of Character and Leadership Development, Health and Life Skills, Education and Career Development, and Arts & Cultural Enrichment.
