It just takes one…
The 2007 Annual
Campaign for the Ludlow Boys & Girls Club
One
Child; One Opportunity; One Future
Your financial support is essential to the
programs and activities our Club offers the children and
families of our community. Your investment enables the Club’s
professional, caring adults to guide our young people. Our
One Campaign helps support our annual operational budget of
$1.5 M. 100% of your contribution goes directly to supporting
programs and services helping children and families right here
in our community
The
Ludlow Boys & Girls Club provides:
A Safe Place….for
those who may be left alone after school or on the streets
with no guidance. The Club is a safe place to play and a place
safe enough to be yourself.
Life-Enhancing Programs…that
can open young minds. The Boys & Girls Club exposes youth to
new ideas and skills that prepare them for life. We teach the
importance of character in all of our programs.
A Relationship with Caring, Trained Adults…the better the programs; the more
children we can attract; the more likely they will build a
relationship with a caring adult; the more opportunity our
Boys & Girls Club can positively influence the character of a
child.
Hope and Opportunity…as
young people experience our Club, we become a place for hope.
Hope leads to increased confidence and a brighter future.
According to the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice,
students in quality after-school programs have better academic
performance, behavior, and school attendance and greater
expectations for the future. Therefore, at the Ludlow Boys &
Girls Club, we offer time-tested and nationally recognized
programs and activities in five distinct areas:
·
Character and Leadership
– Helping boys and girls become responsible citizens and
experience the democratic process. Building character is our
strongest strategy.
·
Education and Career
– Encouraging youth to create aspirations for the future,
providing them with opportunities for career exploration and
educational enhancement.
·
Health and Life Skills
– Facilitating the achievement and maintenance of a healthy,
active lifestyle. Programs address issues such as resisting
violence, drug abuse and premature sexual activity.
·
The Arts – Enhancing
self-expression, developing multicultural appreciation and
gaining creative skills.
·
Sports, Fitness and Recreation
–
Developing fitness, use of
leisure time, reduction of stress,
appreciation for the environment
and social skills.
One day in the life of a child can make a huge
impact on her future. One caring adult can create an
unbreakable bond with a vulnerable child that will last him a
lifetime. One Boys & Girls Club can offer hope to a
neighborhood. One gift from you can open the door to a
brighter tomorrow for more of our children.
