And Saroh was riqht, eyes shining ond feet doncing she held up her Club Cenificote of Achievement Iot
Sportsmonship like it wds an Oscar.
We need your help. We are asking you to contribute to our annual Campaign for Kids to make monumental
moments and life changing opportunities, like Sarah's, possible for over 40O children who attend the Boys & Girls
Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula Clubs daily. These Clubs offer nutritious food, homework help, and supportive
relationships with adults. Sarah and her siblings are being raised by a single mother who is absent most of the time
and definitely not present for recognition, praise or even simpler parenting tasks for her children. lt's at the Club
where they find connections with our caring staff, where they know they matter.
Our Clubs in Port Angeles and Sequim provide o sdfe plocefor children like Sarah who may be home alone or
wandering the streets when school is not in session. The Club is an essential support network for busy parents,
who know their children are engaged in supervised activities, getting their homework done and cared for when
they are at work.
Thanks to individualized tutoring, Lizzy will tell you Algebra ll is a breeze and Christian's strong score on the
military placement exam means his Coast Guard dreams are within reach. Shaun, Dana, Logan, Cody and many
other Club graduates are pursuing military and postsecondary education across the country. Our younger
members are participating in athletics, cooking, crafts and literacy activities. They enjoy taking trips to local farms,
and exploring the Olympic National Park. When school's out, we're in!
Club membership is only $30 per year; scholarships are available to those who cannot afford the modest sum. All
children ages 6 to 18 have access to the outcome driven, evidence informed programs that develop character,
teach healthy lifestyles and instill self-confidence.
Through your financial support of our Clubs, Sarah and all our children have hope, opportunity and a bright future
Thonk you tot making the difference!
With warm regards,
