Cheers to a Magnificent Year!

Vice President, Donor Advancement & Marketing

We’re only a few days into 2023, and I can’t help but reflect on the tremendous accomplishments, milestones, and feats from 2022. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County achieved so much in the last year,
  • Served over 1,015 local Club members between 4 Clubhouse locations.
  • Installed a new playground at our Bair Family Clubhouse.
  • Welcomed Foxy and Baloo, comfort therapy animals, who focus on improving the Club experience at the McKinley and Lockwood Clubhouses.
  • Renovated the foyer and made safety upgrades to the Bair Family Clubhouse. Now, all the Clubhouses have secure entries.
  • Held the first Annual Ron Muri Fun Run in Lockwood, welcoming over 115 participants.
  • Awarded the first Annual Jack Padon Inspiration Award to Annie Hasiak, Vice President of Program Advancement for her dedication to and pursuit of a world class kid experience.
  • Awarded the 8th Annual Jenny Nemer Sibinger Memorial Scholarship.
While I could talk about many Club accomplishments, in this moment I want to focus on you, our partners. Because without you, none of this would be possible. You inspire us to want more. You enable us to pursue greatness for the kids. You allow us to make an individual impact on each Club member, staff, and community. You! Thank you for joining us in this mission and supporting us along the way.

In 2023, together we will continue to build on our work to ensure all young people have access to consistent experiences, opportunities and safe spaces. I am proud of the talented professionals we have assembled to provide kids and teens with life-shaping experiences and opportunities that help them reach their full potential and equip them with critical life skills. I am excited for the year and I am thrilled you are alongside us as we embark on a new year of possibilities.

Cheers to a magnificent year!
