Support the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Tennessee
Thanks to the generous support of our community members, Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Tennessee (headquartered in Columbia, TN) now serves more than 1,500 youth each year in Maury and Giles Counties. We are committed to serving all youth and families who need us, regardless of household income. It costs our organization approximately $53 per week to provide each child with our life-changing services. Our services include:
- A healthy after-school snack
- Daily homework help and tutoring by certified teachers
- A safe, positive environment
- Trained youth development professionals who build caring relationships with the youth we serve
- And much more
Many of the families we serve are not able to pay what it costs the Club to provide services. Our membership fees are structured so that parents only pay what they can afford, and financial assistance and full scholarships are offered to any family who needs it. Approximately 58% of current members receive financial aid or full scholarships. As a result, we must fundraise to close that gap for our low-income families and ensure that the Club is available for all kids who need it.
For 2024, we must raise over $1.7 million through individuals like you, grants, special events, and corporate giving to close that gap. Your support is needed now more than ever so that we can continue to serve even more kids this year. When you support the Club, you ensure that we never have to turn a family away due to an inability to pay.
There are many ways you can give back to the Club and help ensure that Great Futures Start Here for kids in our community.
DONATE TO OUR ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN
By donating to our “All It Takes Is You” campaign, you can make a difference in the life of a child. We know the impact a safe space and a caring mentor can have on a young person’s life. Sometimes, it just takes one person to listen, one safe place to turn to, or one moment of support to make a world of difference.
Over 4,000 kids in Maury and Giles Counties currently live below the poverty level. Our membership has tripled since 2015, and we are excited to now be serving more than 1,500 kids per year, but we know that we need to do more to truly change the odds for kids in our community. Will you help us serve even more kids this year?
Your gift today can help change a child’s future.
