Next to skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. Before October comes to a close, we want to make sure we spread the word about early detection through regular health screenings and checkups. We honor family and friends this month in the Club and in the community! Thanks to everyone that attended this year's Pink Warriors Breast Cancer Survivor's Dinner.

BGCGW’s GREAT BIG KID mentor/mentee program takes flight. Whether it’s flying kites, attending baseball games, or simply helping with homework, BGCGW volunteers all over the DMV are stepping up and mobilizing to make a difference.

While the six-week mentorship activity is a fundraiser--each team competing to raise BGC awareness and donations--each group reaps the biproduct of bonding that can last a lifetime.

“Even though the Great Big Kid ended, we still keep in contact," said 2023 Great Big Kid participant, Malachi. “Being a part of the events he’s taken me to really make me feel important and I get to bring that back here to the Club for others to see what I’ve learned.”

George M. Ferris Jr. Clubhouse 6- BGCGW Branch Director, Andrea Broaddus, was on hand to receive a donation from longtime BGCA supporter, Ross Dress for Less. The retailer has been a national corporate partner of Boys & Girls Clubs for more than 10 years and provides many grants to Clubs across the country every year. “Donations like this are important because it allows the Club to improve the (homework help) Power Hour program. Clubs can purchase additional supplies, incentives for the ‘Power Hour store,’ and get more creative with programming and materials to ensure the youth have the optimal Club experience,” said Robbil Coleman, Director of Operations, DC Region.

"The Club is like a second home...!" Elias has been a part of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington since he was six years old. Recently, funding for his Club was under scrutiny and slated to be cut. He, and other Club kids, took action. They spoke to local news stations about the importance of keeping their Club open. They advocated for their programs and mentors. Where did they learn to hone their public speaking skills? Where did they learn advocacy? At the Club! This fall, BGCGW is launching a campaign asking the community to go “ALL IN” for Club kids like Elias. Your donation will help ensure that every Club kid has access to opportunity and a pathway to their future. Help us keep the momentum going! Go “ALL IN” with a gift to support BGCGW today! $25, $50, $100 >> Click HERE to donate >> https://bgcgw.org/donation_sm/
