This holiday season, retailers are rallying around Boys & Girls Clubs of America to support the organization that serves 4.6 million kids and teens after-school, during the summer and, more recently, due to COVID-19, all day. Twelve partners will donate and encourage their customers to give back to the non-profit now through December 31.
Today, more than 4,700 Boys & Girls Clubs serve kids and teens, especially the ones that need it most. With the organization’s vast reach to impact and enable youth to achieve a great future, there is an estimated 16 million Club alumni living today. In a study of Club alumni, more than half (54%) said their Boys & Girls Club saved their life.
Companies supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of America this holiday season include Forever 21, Neiman Marcus and Champion, among other big names like Coca-Cola and The Walt Disney Company.
“We are so grateful to have corporate partners who are committed to rallying behind our kids, families and communities during this unprecedented holiday season,” said Jim Clark, president and CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “We also want to say thank you in advance to the thousands of customers, including Boys & Girls Club alumni and advocates, who will donate this holiday season. With your support, Boys & Girls Clubs can continue to lead the way in supporting our youth with long-term impacts of the pandemic — youth safety and well-being, learning loss and racial and social equity — while continuing to tackle the immediate needs such as meals, childcare and virtual learning.”
