Rick Adelstein, President of Louis Auto Glass, is chairing Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County’s Great Futures campaign. The campaign is the organization’s annual fundraiser running from September through October, culminating at the 17th Annual Breakfast on November 3.
“Rick’s dedication to this organization is well known,” said Heather Powell, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County. “We are honored he has stepped up to lead this campaign to success.”
The Adelstein family business has been in Whatcom County since 1929, and was founded by Rick’s grandfather, Louis Adelstein. Rick’s business supports and sponsors over 50 other organizations in Whatcom County.
“I’ve been a supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County for many years, and because of that, I thought I understood the breadth of their impact,” Adelstein said. “When I recently visited one of the Clubs and met some of the kids and staff, I realized how transformational and vitally needed their work really is in our community.”

- Served over 79,000 healthy meals and snacks to kids; 48% of them qualify for free or reduced lunch.
