BGCC's Emergency Fund Provides Critical Support

In March, when the coronavirus forced our Clubs to close and the fundraising events we rely on to be postponed indefinitely, the future looked uncertain. One committed donor reached out with a plan, to launch an Emergency Fund, to ensure Clubs continue to serve our kids when they need us most. To establish this fund and inspire others to support it, this donor generously offered to match every gift made up to $250,000 to help BGCC during this time of need.

Countless supporters responded to the call for support. Thanks to you, BGCC was able to launch its Emergency Fund, and the fund is already providing critical relief to our members. Just last week, over 4,400 meals and snacks were distributed by our Clubs to hungry families.

Your support is making it possible for another 500 A Club for Home kits to be dropped at our children’s doorsteps. These kits will be filled with educational essentials like school supplies, hygiene products, snacks and educational materials. They’ll even include select games and crafts to make sure our Club members are finding time to have fun. We will continue to distribute kits to members in the weeks ahead.

Since launching our Virtual Club, over 1,200 youth have enrolled and are engaged in our activities. Your support makes it possible for us to expand our curriculum and offer mentorship in new and innovative ways.

None of this work is possible without you. Thank you to everyone who generously supported our Emergency Fund and for giving our boys and girls hope during these challenging times.

Your Gift Will Make a Positive Impact, Now More Than Ever
