WHEN DOES 100 EQUAL 200

When you donate to Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club Annual Fund!!

 

 A generous donor has offered to match all contributions to the Club’s Annual Fund, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000. This means if you help us raise $100,000, we will receive a total of $200,000.  This opportunity enables you to double the impact of your donation and make $5 = $10 or $100 = $200. 

 

Your support of the Club’s Annual Fund enables us to provide memorable experiences to almost 2,000 children and allows us to offer over 80 life enhancing educational and recreational programs, hire and train committed staff and maintain a safe and secure 32,000 square foot facility.

 Because your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, no gift is too big or too small to make a meaningful impact. 

               

Our Club is not a federal or state funded program; we rely solely on contributions and the generosity of our community to sustain our programs and facility.  Your gift in any amount will have a tremendous impact. 

Here are a few ways you can help:
