Our Children's Futures & Our Community's Welfare

In February of 2009, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Mississippi announced a fundraising campaign to raise the $500,000 needed to keep open all six of its clubs in the Central Mississippi area.

Thanks to outpouring of generosity for the community and great assistance from Governor Haley Barbour, we were able to reach our goal and keep open all 6 Clubs.

Now, we continue to need the community to invest in an organization that pays big dividends.

BGCCM President/CEO, Billy Redd, said that during the campaign, he repeatedly had calls about opening additional Boys & Girls Clubs in Jackson.

"The need in our area is great. There are so many children we are not yet reaching. The call from the community has been for us to expand into new areas. To do so, we will need the community to invest in our organization and support us," Redd said.

"Whether it's five dollars, fifty dollars, or five hundred dollars, the investment in our organization will have immediate and long-term tangible results in the lives of the disadvantaged youth we serve. Our programs also reduce the youth crime rate and contribute to the economic development of the area because more at-risk youth are staying on the right track and going on to college or entering the workforce as responsible, productive citizens," Redd said.

You can help thousands of kids with just one click.
