The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley is excited to announce a campaign for the construction of an all-new Boys & Girls Club in Neenah. Following months of conversations, community leaders and Club supporters committed more than $10 million to the project. The fundraising efforts led by John and Tim Bergstrom are ongoing, aiming to cover the full cost of this new Club, which is expected to exceed $13 million.
Nestled at the northwest corner of Byrd and Marathon Avenues, this newest Boys & Girls Club plans to serve over 1,000 young people and their families annually.
“We couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity to provide Neenah youth with a safe place, relationships with caring adults, and access to meaningful activities.” said Greg Lemke-Rochon, Chief Executive Officer for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley.
“We believe our new Boys & Girls Club in Neenah will be a difference maker for many of the young people it will serve over the years. We are very grateful to all those who are coming together to support and lead this vital effort.”
