VERO BEACH — The Boys & Girls Clubs of Indian River County recently received a $3,000 donation from the Exchange Club of the Treasure Coast. The donation will provide scholarships for ten deserving kids to attend the Boys & Girls Club’s summer program.
The Exchange Club is an all-volunteer, national service organization for men and women who are dedicated to preventing child abuse and helping our community be a better place to live and raise children.
The Boys & Girls Club, a United Way and Children Services Advisory Committee agency, offers a wide variety of programs and activities to kids ages 6 to 18 every weekday during the summer at its three clubhouse locations, two in Vero Beach and one in Sebastian. In addition to participating in nationally recognized programs such as SMART Girls, Passport to Manhood and Money Matters, members are engaged in reading clubs, arts and crafts, sports, and games and also enjoy going on field trips.
The top priority of the Boys & Girls Clubs is helping kids succeed in school and in life. For more information, call (772) 299-7449 or visit www.bgcirc.org.
