I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating
I strongly believe that the children are our future. I mean, when you stop and think about it, they really are. One day we will all be old and our kids will be in our shoes. They will be the ones to keep our legacy going and to help make this world that we live in a better place.
The issue that I see is society. So many people just run around without a care in the world for other human beings or any living thing for that matter. The biggest problem with that is that so many of these people have children who are learning from them. Without any real ties to supportive and caring people in their lives, what are they to become?
That’s why I have always been a passionate advocate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). Their mission statement says it all.
“To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”
Boys & Girls Clubs of America strives to help children everywhere by giving them a safe, friendly and caring atmosphere. All of the workers that I have ever encountered through my life have been very caring individuals and I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference an open heart can make in the life of a child – whether they are troubled or not.
You can help to make a difference too!
There are many ways that you can help children across the country to grow up to be better people. A little attention and love go a long way – longer than you may think!
You can also volunteer and help organizations like BGCA in other ways. One way that you can help during the month of July is to participate in the ‘jcpenney cares round up campaign’ during the month of July. During your normal shopping at jcpenney simply round up your purchase to the nearest dollar. 100% of all donations received will go to BGCA centers across the country! This is a great way to help out. You may not think it seems like much, but every single penny adds up!
Make sure to check back here in the next couple of weeks for another great initiative to help your local BGCA!
