#ThrowbackThursday to an awesome day last week at the Joseph B. Whitehead Club! 🖍️✨ Our partner, Newell Brands, sparked creativity among Club kids with Sharpie Creative Markers and Paper Mate InkJoy Gel pens. They colored and collaborated on a vibrant mural. A special shoutout to Sharpie’s Rookie of the Year, Michael Penix Jr., for stopping by and making it an unforgettable experience! This event kicked off Newell Brands’ multiyear commitment to support Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s arts programs, empowering youth with the tools to thrive. #TBT #GreatFutures #ArtsMatter #BGCMA

Today was a special day as we hosted Congresswoman Nikema Williams at our Harland Boys & Girls Club for not one, but two, very special check presentations! The first check amounting to $500,000 was presented to Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. This funding is part of the congresswoman’s $12.5 million Community Project Funding earmarked for the purchase of new buses which are vital for transporting youth to and from our Clubs. The second check for $2 million to Boys & Girls Clubs of America will support child safety initiatives focused on enhancing abuse prevention practices and the physical safety of kids in our Clubs across America! We are so grateful to Congresswoman Nikema Williams for being a true champion for youth! Special thanks to Missy Dugan Misty Miller Larry Patrick Kimberly Lucas Shernā "Dr. Nae" Phillips, Ph.D. John Strong Desire'e Anthony and our amazing kids and teens who made today such a memorable celebration!
