via Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley
YERINGTON, Nev. – Helping end the year strong and getting ready for the next year, Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley launched its Rural Nevada needs Club Kids campaign on Thursday to raise money for the organization’s mission.
Each year, Boys & Girls Clubs of Mason Valley, which serves youth in Yerington, Dayton, Silver Springs and Hawthorne, raises more than 20% of its budget in the last two months of the year, making it the most important time to give to the organization. Club Kids, or those youth who are members and attend, get As and Bs more often, understand and control their emotions better, and are more active and social than their non-Club peers.
“We say rural Nevada needs Club Kids because Club Kids are truly the future leaders of our area,” Travis Crowder, the youth organization’s chief executive officer, said. “Seeing what they accomplish every day, we’re in good hands!”
Boys & Girls Clubs provide more than 15 impact-proven and results-driven programs to kids and teens every year. Additionally, two early learning centers in Yerington and Dayton provide necessary early childhood care and education for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The Club focuses on education, the arts, overall wellness and physical activity to better youth lives.
In its four rural communities, the Club also offers tutoring, free meals every day, and a variety of youth sports leagues and camps.
Donations can be put toward whatever the donor would like, including specific programs, facilities or services.
Gifts can be made via check to 124 N. Main Street Yerington, NV 89447, in person at their local clubhouse, online at bgcmasonvalley.org, or by calling 775-463-2334.
