Boys & Girls Clubs Recieve $25,000 Grant From Hurricanes
08-04-2003
The Boys & Girls Clubs kicked off the new fiscal year with a bang thanks to a generous grant from the Carolina Hurricanes Kids ’N Community Foundation. The $25,000 grant will be used to fund Fitness Authority, a program that promotes fitness through fun, engaging activities.
Fitness Authority is a 12-week program that culminates in an annual competition with local, regional and national levels. Club members take part in games, sports and other activities that teach them about sports culture and history, self-esteem, nutrition and physical fitness.
The Boys & Girls Clubs enjoys partnering with the Carolina Hurricanes throughout the year. The Boys & Girls Clubs and the Hurricanes are currently collaborating on the Clubs’ upcoming Breakfast of Champions event, set for September 16. The event will feature Kevin Weekes, goalie for the Carolina Hurricanes and Boys Club alum.
The Boys & Girls Clubs mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
The Boys & Girls Clubs is a non-profit privately funded 501C(3) organization and depends on private donations and volunteers to accomplish its mission. To make a donation or to volunteer contact the Wake County office at 919.834.6282 or visit our website at www.wakebcg.org.
