Since 1970, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties have played an important role in the surrounding community, providing daily services and programs to thousands of Florida’s youth. Their mission is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible individuals. The Boys & Girls Clubs aim to provide a world-class experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through their doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a future plan in place. The Club’s vision is for each member to demonstrate good character and citizenship, while living a healthy and happy lifestyle.
In keeping with their annual tradition, the Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club in North Port hosted their 14th annual Day for Kids event on Saturday, September 17th. It was a free, fun-filled day for the local youth that included the support of the entire community. Over 350 kids and their families attended and had a wonderful time.
Euro-Wall employees were honored to spend their Saturday volunteering at this celebration of kids, for kids. North Port’s community and families came together to focus on the importance of positive and caring adults spending meaningful time with youth, which is an integral and basic need for a child’s healthy development.
