National Brands Imagine Great Moments for Kids This Holiday Season
Press Release
ATLANTA – Dec. 16, 2021 – Millions of great moments are made at Boys & Girls Clubs across the nation each year. This holiday season, national brands are supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s youth and families through giving campaigns, in-store activations and donation opportunities that will help kids thrive all-year-round.
Whether it’s the safe space that waits for them after school, the opportunity that empowers them to pursue a passion or new career, or a caring mentor that reminds them of their self-worth and potential, a Boys & Girls Club plays many important roles in a young person’s life.
Today, more than 4,700 Boys & Girls Clubs serve kids and teens, guiding them on a path toward a great future. Boys & Girls Clubs of America believes that every young person has the ability to succeed. In fact, according to a 2021 survey, 94% of kids and teens described their time at the Club as a safe and positive experience, with 88% crediting Clubs for providing them with opportunity.
Now through the end of the year, national brands are committed to supporting America’s youth at Boys & Girls Clubs across the nation. Shop in-store or online to help create more great moments for kids and teens:
