Throughout Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston's 115
year history, we have been fortunate to have the
ongoing financial support of our treasured alumni. While
current-use gifts - a golf tournament or an outright
cash gift - are beneficial to your Club in the short
term, there is an ongoing need for long-term support. By
making a
planned
gift today you are setting the Club up for financial
stability tomorrow.
Future Club
members will be shaped by our ability to build long-term
support through planned gifts - a bequest (can be a
dollar amount or % of your "estate"), a charitable gift
annuity (provides fixed income to donor), gifts of
property or real estate, and gifts through your IRA.
Planned gifts ensure the positive experience you had as
a Club kid is the same for future generations. Just last
week the South Boston Club received a $5,000 gift from a
bequest.
BGCB has professional resources
available to assist you in discussing these gift options
for any age and income level. Please contact Renee
Besser by
email or at 617.994.4782 if you
would like more information. If you have already named
BGCB as a beneficiary, we hope you will let us know so
that we can properly recognize your intention and list
you as a member of the Frederic C. Church Sr. Planned
Giving Society.

Roxbury's Centennial Celebrations in 2010.
The group will be meeting again on Thursday, June
11th at 6 PM at the Club. All Club alumni are welcome to

To
meet Blue Hill alumna Yvette Philip, is to like her. She
is smart, kind and caring. Despite having left
Dorchester for college and graduate school at
Bentley College, she remained close to the
Club which she credits with helping her
succeed in life. In 2007 she led the alumni
planning committee for the post-Club renovation
festivites.
