“Last year, we raised over $330,000 to support the academic success, healthy lifestyles and good citizenship programs at the Clubs,” said Heather Powell, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County. “We’re extremely thankful to our donors for their support; we couldn’t make the impact we do without community support.”
Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County was founded in 1946 with the mission of enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. Our clubs now annually serve nearly 6,000 kids in four communities: Bellingham, Blaine, Ferndale and Lynden. We feed them a nutritious snack and a healthy dinner. We give them time, space and guidance to complete homework, participate in enrichment and character-building activities, and have fun.
