It Just Takes One!
The Boys & Girls Club of Hot Springs strives to inspire and enable all children, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
A Boys & Girls Club provides:
A safe place to learn and grow - Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals - Life enhancing programs and character development experiences - HOPE & OPPORTUNITY.
The Boys & Girls Club of Hot Springs has changed the lives of young people in our area for over 60 years. We are very proud of that legacy, and want to reach even more children and communities in the years ahead. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Today our Club annually serves over 2,000 youth in some of our area's most disadvantaged communities. The Club gives our kids a safe, supervised and affordable place to go every day after school, with caring adult staff, character-building educational and recreational programs, and an opportunity to set and achieve goals, while also making friends and having fun.
To continue this work, and reach out to more children and families, we need the support of the greater Hot Springs community - especially those who are in a position to give back. The Club is an investment in our future - our city, our region, and our nation.
According to our Annual Report to Boys & Girls Club of America, we ended 2007 with 2,069 members between the ages of 5-18 years. In addition we served over 1,700 more kids through various activities such as: Girl Scouts, Boys Scouts, visiting sports teams and Teen outreach programs.
How do we continue to grow and provide quality staff, programs, equipment and supplies to all of these kids? Well, it is not easy. That's why our Board of Directors have chosen to participate in "One Campaign".
One Campaign is an annual Sustaining Membership program allowing individuals to make financial gifts at a level he or she is comfortable with. Your gift will enable us to continue providing programs and activities to over 2,000 youth ages 5 years to 18 years in the areas of: Character & Leadership Development, Career & Education Development, Health & LifeSkills, The ARTS and Sports, Fitness & Recreation.
Are YOU the one to help us continue this outreach? For more information please contact Tammy Brown, Executive Director, at 501-623-2711 or hsbgc@hotmail.com
