Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia Celebrates Fundraising Goal

“We cannot thank our supporters enough for their generous contributions to
the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia,” said Tom Hofmann, campaign
chairman. “These dollars will have a direct impact on inner city kids and
will help us better serve children from pre-school through high school,
especially teens as they face one of the most challenging times of their
lives.”

The funds raised from the campaign, the first of its kind in the history of
the organization, will enable the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia to
enhance teen programs to attract and retain teen members; improve
infrastructure at the neediest clubs in the city, and implement an
organization-wide outcome measurement system to allow the organization to
track and measure the impact of its programs and activities on Club members
at all 12 Clubs.
