Baseball/Softball Spring League in Full Swing!
The Boys & Girls Club's spring baseball and softball program is off to a huge start! The weather has cooperated, and the kids are learning the fundamentals of the game and enjoying the fun of competing with their peers. And of course, they are learning valuable life skills as part of the process. Team work. Persistence. Leadership. The list goes on.
As summer rapidly approaches, the baseball & softball program will continue to grow and more Club kids will have the opportunity to play. Participation in our baseball/softball program is included in the annual membership fee of $10 per child, which makes it possible for many kids to particpate. We provide all the equipment, uniforms, coaches, etc.
We want to thank the men of Cawthar Temple for helping to make this program a huge success!
If you would like to sign-up a child and/or sponsor a child's particpation, give us a call!

Boys & Girls Clubs of America releases new PSA!
A new public service announcement, directed by Academy Award winner Ron Howard with the support of producer Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment, dramatically illustrates the impact of the Boys & Girls Club Experience in transforming the lives of young people.
Debuting on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2011, the video features 21 notable Boys & Girls Club alumni including national co-spokespersons Denzel Washington and Jennifer Lopez, along with Ashanti, General Wesley Clark, Misty Copeland, John Paul DeJoria, Cuba Gooding Jr., Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mario Lopez, Ne-Yo, Edward James Olmos, Lucille O'Neal, Shaquille O'Neal, Smokey Robinson, CC Sabathia, Martin Sheen, Courtney B. Vance, Kerry Washington and Shaun White. BGCA's 2010 National Youth of the Year Mona Dixon rounded out the cast. The music heard in the announcement features Beyonce and was written by Diane Warren.
The PSA, titled "Great Futures Start Here," was created to draw awareness about the critical issues -- high school dropout rate, childhood obesity, youth violence -- that puts millions of America's kids, and the nation's future, at risk.
Kids in every community deserve a chance at a great future. Boys & Girls Clubs provide high-impact, affordable programs, and caring adult mentorship to give kids an opportunity to learn and grow. Every day, Clubs around the world emphasize academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.
