This year's most needed school supply: a safe place to belong AFTER school! 🎒📚 When children have access to quality food, trusted adult mentors, a sense of belonging, and a safe “third place” (outside of home and school), they have a better opportunity to maximize their potential and thrive in life. Together, we can immediately help kids and families living in our local community who need us most.⭐ Help us reach our $15,000 fundraising goal by visiting bgcdoc.org/giving today! #BackToSchool #AfterSchool #SupportGreatFutures #BGCDOC #GiveBack #Charity #Philanthropy #Donate #NonprofitOrganization #HelpingChildren #HelpingOthers #Durham #ChapelHill #NorthCarolina

We were so excited to host the City of Durham, United Way of the Greater Triangle President & CEO Eric Guckian, and Triangle Community Foundation President & CEO Lori O'Keefe last week as Mayor Leonardo Williams announced the launch of the Bull City Future Fund. The Fund, through grants, will provide support for community organizations in Durham that focus on youth engagement. The City of Durham knows, and has seen, how a lack of support around youth engagement can have detrimental consequences on the community. The Bull City Future Fund is a great example of how collaboration between the public, private, and philanthropic sectors can make a difference. It was an honor to host this announcement and to be surrounded by so many who share our commitment of building great futures for our youth. Together, we can. #BullCityFutureFund #GreatFuturesStartHere #SupportGreatFutures

🌟LOVE Week had such an amazing impact on our Club youth! 🎉 We are thrilled to have such an amazing community partner-- Elevation Church. Their visit to the Durham Club during their LOVE Week brought endless fun with snacks, bouncy houses, and inflatable slides! 🤩 From cheering on friends as they raced against Elevation staff and volunteers to seeing who could go down the fastest on the inflatable slide-- it was definitely a highlight in our member's summer camp experience. A huge thanks to everyone who joined in and made it unforgettable! 💙 #LOVEWeek #SupportGreatFutures #BGCDOC #GiveBack #Charity #Philanthropy #Donate #Volunteer #NonprofitOrganization #HelpingChildren #HelpingOthers #NorthCarolina #SummerCamp
