12 Days of Giving

There is no better way for Club alumni and supporters to show their Club pride during the holidays than by giving back to the next generation of Club kids. To ignite the spirit of giving back this holiday season, The Boys & Girls Club of America is partnering with local Clubs like ours and celebrity Club alumni including our own Denzel Washington and supporters to bring holiday cheer to twelve families in need. Check out each story below and if you are a former Club kid or supporter who wants to give back to kids who need us most, Join the Alumni & Friends community to start giving back.
