The Boys and Girls Club of Northwest New Jersey supports over 6,000 local families. Funds raised from their annual gala support Club programs and efforts for their Neighbors In Hardship Scholarship Fund, which provides full and partial scholarships to local families facing financial hardship whether due to loss of a parent, job, illness or other devastating situation, enabling their child to attend their Club programs.
“We are not just an after-school or summer camp program, we are SO much more!,” explains Gina Radice, Director of Resource Development & Marketing for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey.
“We offer character and leadership development programs, we bring in speakers, at no cost to families, with topics on alcohol and drug prevention, dangers of social media, bullying, and mental health support. We also offer health and wellness programs, STEM and art classes. Our programs focus on the whole child; physically, emotionally, and socially.”
“The BGCNWNJ takes deep pride in creating a safe place where kids (from 6 weeks to 18 years old) love to come to grow, to learn, to have fun, and to shine.”
The Light the Way Gala is an outstanding way to meet people who are making a great difference in the lives of so many in our area.
This year’s gala will be held at the Westmount Country Club, 728 Rifle Camp Road in Woodland Park on Friday, November 14th from 6:30 to 11:30.
The Gala will be honoring Atlantic Health System’s Chilton Medical Center. For more information, including tickets and sponsorship opportunities, see their website at bgcnwnj.org/events/.
