Friends Council
Join the next generation of leaders for Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston
Friends Council is a group of young supporters for Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston. Now in its 13th year, this philanthropic initiative connects professionals across industry and neighborhood to further BGCB’s mission and impact. Members join to give back, develop leadership skills, and connect with like-minded peers at social gatherings, volunteer opportunities, and fundraising events.
Membership begins with a gift of $25 per month or $300 annually. Join us or renew your commitment to BGCB’s mission by clicking the button below. In making your gift, you ensure BGCB can keep Club membership affordable for our youth and families – just $25 for children and $5 for teens! You’ll also join a vibrant community of like-minded peers and receive regular communications about special events and opportunities for involvement.
THANK YOU to the 80+ friends who joined us at The Anchor for our Fall Fundraiser! We hope you enjoyed hearing from Club staff and BGCB leadership about the impact of your generous support during this ongoing time of recovery. Check out event photos here, and stay tuned for our next event in 2022!
Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for cheerful stories from our Clubs!
