The Boys & Girls club of East Aurora has served this community with your generous support for over 85 years. That 85 years represents thousands of impactful moments, transformational stories and relationships built. But do you know what else happens when a non-profit is 85 years old? Just like a home, it needs updates! Several places in our Club and Camp need costly renovation projects to keep them safe and impactful spaces for young people. That's whereEmpowering Tomorrow comes in!
The Empowering Tomorrow Capital Campaign will help us to repair and renovate the Club and make it a viable place for future generations with lower utility costs and higher energy efficiency. The challenging financial times these past few years, like inflation, rising utility expenses, facility upgrades and staffing costs have strained our ability to provide families with the highest quality youth services at the lowest prices possible. Empowering Tomorrow aims to raise $750,000 for projects at the Club and Camp Ska-No-Ka-San that will improve programs while reducing annual facility costs. Look for fun program improvements, like a new turf field behind the Club, Sports Court at Camp, Summer Cabin repairs, new Club doors and windows and updates to program Rooms. We are currently in the Silent Phase of this capital campaign and are hopeful to raise funding for these repairs. Look for more information on Empowering Tomorrow in early 2025.
