u7200 KIDS SERVED
“It’s the personal touch. They know each child. They find skills and abilities no one else would. They look for the best in you. I’m a huge fan. I don’t know how parents in our community could function without the Clubs.” Denise Williams
“We thank the Boys & Girls Clubs of K.L. and all their fabulous staff for the difference they make in the life of our son. Your interesting and educational programs and the dedication of your staff are exceptional and we feel extremely fortunate to be able to make use of them” Tricia and John Havas

uTHE DIFFERENCE
C
We have always cared about families with extra burdens to bear. Many are finding it difficult to make ends meet financially. Kids whose families struggle financially deserve our services too. At our Clubs, programs are provided free if families can’t afford them. That is the Boys and Girls Clubs difference!

The Power of Shared Donations
Perhaps you have always wanted to help others but thought your donation would be too small to make a difference. Your dollars when combined with those of others can quickly add up to have great impact!
You can choose to make a one time donation, commit to a monthly gift or you can start a Circle of Giving with your friends, kids, club or co-workers and together you can grow your giving potential! For example:
Your gift of $10 per month plus 10 friends in your Circle of Giving at $10 per month = $1320 per year! Your gift of $25 per month plus 10 friends in your Circle of Giving at $25 per month = $3300 per year! Your gift of $50 per month plus 10 friends in your Circle of Giving at $50 per month = $6600 per year!
