“Penny Wars” Fundraiser Supports Healthy Snacks Program at Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley

For two weeks this summer, Camp Souhegan staff and campers were “at war”. The battle was over who could raise the most money to support a healthy snacks program at the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley.  The very successful challenge brought in nearly $500 thanks to camp counselors Evan Wandrey and Kim McNally, whose buckets received the most change. The victory was celebrated with an all-out water balloon dousing of counselors Wandrey and McNally at the conclusion of the Stop, Drop, & Read themed camp week in August.

“It was really fun to see the kids get so excited about giving back to the Club and I’m happy I could be a part of it!” said Kim.

Thanks to a donation from Centrix Bank early in 2014, the Club was able to kick-off a healthy snacks program which provided over 7,400 snacks to Club members through June. The money raised from this fundraiser will help provide apples, granola bars, and other healthy snack options through the first month of the school year. The Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley is seeking additional supporters to carry the program throughout the school year.

“Providing our members with a healthy snack after school is just one way we can promote Healthy Lifestyles, one of our top three priority outcomes for members,” stated Cory Sullivan, Program Director at the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley. “We have found that healthy snacks help our members participate more fully in our programs after school.”

Providing healthy snacks daily to the over 150 members who attend each day would be impossible without the support from fundraisers like the Penny Wars and other donations from the community.
