Last Friday a gentleman stopped by the Boys & Girls Club and placed ten $100 bills in our donation bin. He left without a word and before anyone could thank him. Our security cameras picked up an image of someone who vaguely resembles Santa Claus without his winter beard. Whomever this anonymous supporter is – thank you! Your $1000 gift was matched and helped us get closer to our overall goal. I hope your example of giving spreads and more people join us to help change young people’s lives for generations to come!
An exciting benefit of the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley’s efforts to raise $3 million to build its new gym and teen center is a renewed appreciation about just how important our Club is to the Souhegan Valley community. I have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our supporters and volunteers as we planned for the expansion and received donations to support our efforts. And the excitement of our youth members, teens, and young alumni is palatable as they eagerly await for the opportunities this expansion will provide them.
As we enter the summer months we are wrapping up our capital campaign with $700,000 left to raise. Critical choices are being made based on our ability to reach our fundraising goals. The Boys & Girls Club is a vital resource to our children and community; we need your help to increase our impact and serve even more young people. An anonymous donor is matching all new gifts up to a total of $100,000, and we’ve only achieved 10% of this matching challenge so far. Please help us take full advantage of this generous offer. Every donation truly makes a difference! Donate now or pledge your support over time. Pledges can be fulfilled over 3 years. Thank you.
For more information about the planned expansion and how you can make a donation visit www.svbgc.org or email Susan Taylor, Executive Director, at staylor@svbgc.org.
