Whereas, in every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them; and

Whereas, Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow while having fun. They are truly the "Positive Place for Kids"; and
