The success of the Boys & Girls Clubs is only possible because of all you do. Whether you work for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County, volunteer on a committee or as a board member, or are a generous donor- you helped us make a difference. I am so proud of the work we did together in 2021.

With your collective energy and passion for our mission to enable young people, especially those who need us most, realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens we were able to respond to the needs of our young people and create the life-shaping experiences and opportunities kids and teens need more than ever.

As we enter 2022, we have much to be grateful for-and much to look forward to. For myself, I am especially thankful and honored to work along side

–       A team of individuals committed to doing Whatever It Takes to help young people succeed,

–       A community dedicated to supporting and enabling young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens, and

–       Talented and empowered youth who dream beyond their current circumstances and see the hope and opportunities ahead for their own GREAT FUTURES.

I am energized about our 2022 goals of expanding the Club’s high-yield learning programs, building upon social and emotional support for members, completing the Bair Family playground renovation and gathering for the BE GREAT Ball on March 18.

Thank you for joining the Boys & Girls Clubs on this journey and for your impact on our shared priorities. I am grateful for you and look forward to continuing our relationship, partnership, and friendship in 2022. Together, we can do Whatever It Takes for the success of every child.

Wishing you a joyful New Year,

Sincerely,

Karrie Owen

Vice President, Donor Advancement & Marketing
