What do all of these
people, and millions more throughout America, have in common?
They are all alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
While many Club
alumni have achieved particular distinction in fields such
as entertainment, business, politics and sports, the average
alumnus is not famous. Most have achieved success by getting
an education, raising a family, serving their country, pursuing
a career or supporting the community.
Millions have benefited
from belonging to a Boys & Girls Club since the first
Club opened its doors in 1860. Based on research by Louis
Harris & Associates, Club alumni have very strong feelings
about their individual Club experiences:
- 80% said Club staff helped them learn right from wrong
- 95% indicated the Club was the best thing available in
their community
- 52% said participating in the Club "saved my life"
There are numerous
ways you as an alumnus can get involved with our Clubs - and
help the kids of today by giving back to the Club that helped
you.
