“BUILDING PERMANENT FOUNDATIONS, A VISION FOR THE FUTURE”

We encourage you to join us in support of an exciting endeavor: The Boys & Girls Club of Easton relocated to its expanded facilities on Easton’s South Side in the Fall of 2011. Now the Club can serve more local youth and their families with quality year-round programs in this revamped hub, outfitted for technology, arts, education, health and fitness activities to strengthen the mind, body and soul.

The Club has a tremendous impact on the community serving those children who need the most help. Now it’s our turn. We urge you to join us in support of this important venture by making a contribution to the Club’s Capital Campaign today. You can make an impact and be a part of the Club’s new vision, and help kids learn and grow in a safe, secure and stimulating environment.

Thank you.

What Makes This Club Unique?

• The club is community-based and building centered

• The club offers a safe, affordable place for young people during non-school hours and the summer

• The club is led by paid, trained youth development professionals

It’s more than just a building. The new facility Boys & Girls Club opened in the Fall of 2011, and will enable us to bring a much wider variety of positive experiences to the young people in our community...programs such as music, drama and art experiences, where youngsters can develop their creativity…an enhanced computer lab, where kids can learn the kinds of skills needed to be a success in school and in a high-tech society…a bigger and better gym complete with locker rooms and for the first time ever, shower stalls! We’ll have increased athletic programs for boys and girls, providing them with the fun and exercise benefits of sports and recreation…a cafeteria and kitchen to provide nourishment for our youth and additional mentoring programs where trained professionals can help kids at risk…and lots more.

Your financial support will help the children in our community BE GREAT. And when you do, you will
feel great too!
