Thanks to the generosity of three area families, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley has received a $125,000 Matching Gift Challenge. When you choose to donate through December 31, 2024, gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $125,000.
Too many youth face obstacles that significantly impact their mental health and well-being in ways that cascade into every aspect of their daily lives. Helping young people heal from their past adverse experiences is at the heart of everything we do. Contributions to the organization help enable the Club’s caring team members to support kids with unmet needs while giving them opportunities to thrive.
By making a tax-deductible contribution to the club today, you can help ensure kids get the support they need to unlock their full potential.
One of the Club’s targeted services is our Truancy Reduction & Assessment Center (TRAC). This team works directly with youth in area school districts to promote school attendance, instill positive attitudes toward education, and empower them to build life skills.
15-year-old Asia, who is served by the Club’s TRAC initiative, shares that her case manager Amanda “…tried to help me, to help me let go of some of the past situations. I stopped fighting and started going to class. She showed me the right way to go.”

Every youth, like Asia, deserves a great future. With a gift through our Matching Gift Challenge, you can help create opportunities for thousands of young people across our communities today.
