Boys and Girls Club of America

 

Years ago when my stepsons were younger, they use to attend after care on the days when my husband had to work at the fire department.  We enrolled them into the school’s after care program because it seemed easier than finding something else.

Well…those boys were a little “wild”. They were always getting into trouble. We needed to find another place for them. So we checked in to the Boys and Girls Club, which was right down the street. Plus they came and picked the boys up from school. Perfect!

The boys did much better there. I think it was because there was more to do, more room to play. As school is starting or has started, parents are looking for a place for their children to go. Why not check out  The Boys and Girls Club of America?

 

 

Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA)  and Disney have partnered to launch the Tools for Back to School initiative. This initiative features a pop-quiz style game. With every correct answer, supplies will be donated to BGCA. This is such an easy way for everyone to donate! I tried it and it’s super easy!

 

BGCA has also partnered with JCPenny and with each purchase in August, you can “round up” your purchase and the proceeds will benefit the BGCA. Check out more info at JCPenny.com.

The Boys and Girls Club of America offers tip sheets for parents to download and use. You can find them right on their website on the left hand side.

 

 

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Boys and Girls Club. I received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

I enjoy music, reading, cooking, traveling and spending time with my family. We just adopted our 3rd cat and love them all!
