Bill Cosby… Alex Rodriguez... Brad Pitt… Michael Jordan…
President Clinton… Jackie Joyner-Kersee… Martin Sheen… Derek
Jeter… Neil Diamond… Denzel Washington.
What do all of these people, and millions more throughout America, have in
common? They are all alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
While many Club alumni have achieved particular distinction in fields such
as entertainment, business, politics and sports, the average alumnus is not
famous. Most have achieved success by getting an education, raising a
family, serving their country, pursuing a career or supporting the community.
Millions have benefited from belonging to a Boys & Girls Club since the first
Club opened its doors in 1860. Based on research by Louis Harris &
Associates, Club alumni have very strong feelings about their individual
Club experiences:
80% said Club staff helped them learn right from wrong
95% indicated the Club was the best thing available in their community
52% said participating in the Club "saved my life"
