WHY SUPPORT THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Plain (BGCCP) serves over 3,000 youth (ages 6-18), annually, at 17 locations throughout 7 counties. Their mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Kids and teens who attend their after-school and summer programs have better attendance, improved behavior, higher grades and test scores – which is all made possible due to the incredible staff members and volunteers. These role models respect and listen to the youth and provide a safe environment where they can be themselves and have fun, and constructive activities to channel their youthful energy.
Each club member invests $50/year to partake in the program, but the cost of serving each club member far exceeds that cost. Your donation helps to fill this gap and further fuels their mission.
After hearing from their Chief Development Officer earlier this year, the YP’s were moved by the impactful work that BGCCP does in our communities. We hope that you are just as moved to make a difference in the lives of these youth as they are our future!
THANK YOU!
