We need your support to help our youth make today’s dreams into tomorrow’s reality.
Rotary Boys & Girls Club depends on generous individual gifts, fundraising events, and foundation support to help us reach 1,000 youth each year. The money we raise allows us to keep our services affordable and even free to kids and teens who need us most. Here are a few reasons why your help is important:
- Families pay $36 a year for a membership to our Club, but it costs us $500 to serve a single child for a year.
- We provide scholarships to kids from low-income families who need us most. Each scholarship we provide costs us $250.
- It costs us $1200 a month to provide healthy and tasty snacks each day for our members.
- $50 dollars provides 10 nutritious snacks for one week.
- $100 donation subsidizes five membership scholarships for struggling families.
- $500 donation underwrites a full year of specialized programming for a kid.
