MESSAGE / THEME:  “Here. Now.” (aligned with the BGCA national tagline “Great Futures Start Here.”)

RATIONALE:  The future.  It’s here.  A time and place for boys and girls to grow together through the spirit of community involvement, leadership, volunteerism and learning.  But here is more than just a moment in time or a place on a map.  Here is now, whenever and wherever Boys & Girls Clubs have the opportunity to change the lives of young people in our community.

“These children excel in the face of adversity. It is amazing what they achieve and how the Boys & Girls Clubs bring out the best in them.” – Phil Wilson, our Board’s Vice President

SPECIAL THANKS ~ Funding for our Strategic Marketing Project was made possible in part by a major grant from the Northland Foundation.
