This year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America is celebrating a century of changing children's lives. Today, there are more than 3,300 clubs in all 50 states serving more than 4.4 million children. The Clubs have helped to launch all kinds of careers, from athletes to politicians to news anchors. But sometimes simply providing a safe, well-supervised refuge from the streets is their most important function. At the core of each club are caring adults who make time to metor.

For 100 years, the special ONE-on-ONE relationships that Boys & Girls Clubs provide have been bringing out the best in young people. Lessons learned at the Clubs are passed from generation to generation, like family heirlooms. The Annual It Just Takes ONE Campaign program is a systematic effort driven by our board and supported by our staff to secure gifts from individual donors with the emphasis on one to one solicitations, while demonstrating the impact of our Club's mission.

One day in the life of a child can make a huge impact on her future.

One caring adult can create an unbreakable bond with a vulnerable child that will last throughout his lifetime.

One Boys & Girls Club can offer hope to an entire neighborhood.

One gift from you can open the door to a brighter tomorrow for more of our children.
