GREAT FUTURES DRIVE
Last year, our community's incredible generosity for the Back2School Backpack Drive made an incredible impact to our Club members, providing more backpacks and school supplies than ever before and ensuring that our Club members are set up for success well into the school year.
We are making a small shift this summer to meet another critical need. We are celebrating the holidays in June!
We’re expanding our Joy Drive Toy Drive and Press Telegram Let's Play Ball Campaign and inviting our supporters to help us bring the same level of impact to the holiday season.
Our goal is simple: every Club member receives a gift, and our sports programs are fully stocked with balls and equipment for the year.
PURCHASE FROM AMAZON TO GET DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO US!
We have created an Amazon Wishlist, so you can pick the toys and balls you want to donate and they get delivered directly to us to distribute. Make a huge difference in just about five minutes from the comfort of your home. Make sure to mark "this is a gift" so we can send you a tax receipt.

DONATE TO SUPPORT CLUB MEMBERS YEAR ROUND!
We serve over 4,800 youth annually, where it costs the Club nearly $1,500 to serve one youth for one year. The child's family is asked to pay only $15 a school year, but no one is turned away because of the inability to pay.
Donate to support our homework help program and so we can purchase supplies on your behalf.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
