Generosity brings holiday cheer to Club members
More than ever before, our members and their families were in peoples' thoughts and on their shopping lists this holiday season. Thanksgiving dinner was possible for hundreds of families thanks to a team from Northern Trust, Nexus Alliance and Walmart. Making the holidays brighter for our members, Harvard Pilgrim, Caturano and Company, Friends Council members, Boston Magazine, Boston Celtics player Ray Allen, Delta Airlines, Networked Events, our Main Office staff and many other groups collected and delivered gifts - winter coats, sports equipment, dolls, and supermarket gift cards and more.
It's not too late to make a child's holiday brighter by making a gift to Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.
BGCB welcomes new Chief Advancement Officer
"It will be a great privilege to collaborate with colleagues and volunteer leaders who share a like-minded passion for improving the lives of thousands of youths in our community. The role of the organization in helping kids rise above the challenges that confront families today is more critical than ever. I am honored to help lead the team supporting this amazing work, and to find ways to strengthen funding sources and relationships with those who give, to have the greatest and most lasting impact possible." - Alexandra Fuchs
