From our Boys & Girls Club family to yours, Happy Holidays! Thank you for being part of a community that makes the season brighter. ✨
We are incredibly grateful to Greenwood Women Care (GWC) for selecting the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lakelands Region as a 2025 grant recipient and for this generous $10,000 investment in our Rising STARZ program 💙
This support is truly transformational. By helping us provide daily transportation to and from the STARZ24 Teen Center, GWC is removing one of the biggest barriers families face and ensuring middle school students have consistent access to tutoring, enrichment, mentoring, and safe spaces during a critical time in their lives.
Because of your commitment to the good of many, more youth in Greenwood County will stay engaged, supported, and on track academically, socially, and emotionally. Thank you for believing in our mission and in the potential of every young person we serve.
