SAINT LOUIS AUTO DEALERS ASSOCIATION DONATES $100,000 TO BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF GREATER ST. LOUIS TO SUPPORT NORTH COUNTY INITIATIVES
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis (BGCSTL) humbly received an $100,000 donation from the Saint Louis Auto Dealers Association to support the agency’s efforts of providing after-school, summer, teen and other youth programs in the North St. Louis County area.
In 2015, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis significantly expanded its footprint in the North County area to serve youth ages 6-18. It was already operating two Clubs in the Hazelwood School District (Southeast Middle School Club and Grannemann Elementary School Club) but have since opened two new Clubs in the Ferguson/Florissant District (Ferguson Middle School and Lee Hamilton Elementary School Clubs) and, the Riverview Gardens Club (Highland Elementary School Club) in Fall 2016. The opening of these Clubs and this donation allows BGCSTL to serve more youth, and have a greater impact in those communities.
