2024 Annual Campaign Kickoff – Back A Child
Each year, our Club embarks on our annual giving program – the Great Futures Annual Campaign. The Great Futures Annual Campaign helps us ensure that all young people continue to be provided with an opportunity to have the great futures each one of them deserves.
Our mission is more critical today than ever as we work together to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. It is only with the support of people like you that we are able to create life learning experiences and opportunities for our kids so they can succeed in school, develop strong character and leadership skills, and live a healthy lifestyle.
- Visionary of the Club – $250 a month – Visionary supporter sponsors the cost of one child to attend the Club every day for one year.
- Backer of the Club- $100 a month – Allows a child in need to attend the Club all summer. They will have access to two meals a day and a snack, field trips, mentors, and activities to keep them on track academically.
- Advocate of the Club – $50 a month – Ensures ten (10) members meals every month. For many of our members this is their last meal before school breakfast the next day.
- Associate of the Club – $25 a month – Invest in five (5) members healthy lifestyles every month. Guarantees that they have access to healthy food, learn healthy habits and supports our established programs of smart choices and abstinence.
- Partner of the Club – $15 a month – Provide school supplies for members as needed. Simple things like pencils or crayons to calculator’s and computers, your monthly support will make sure our members don’t go without things needed to be successful in school.
- Friend of the Club – $10 a month – Fill in the gap. Whether it’s deodorant or toothpaste to shoes and winter coats. The Friend of the Club helps fill in the gaps of the basic necessities of our members. We don’t always know what their need will be but we are ready to assist whatever it might be.
