BGCFDL Celebrates Great Futures!
Each spring, the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac takes time to recognize the many accomplishments made over the past school year at its nine afterschool program locations. “Celebrate Great Futures” Annual Awards Night took place on May 11 and as always, it was an amazing display of the impact the Club has for so many youth in our community (view Facebook photo album here!).
Since 2014, Marian University has been graciously awarding the Club’s Youth of the Year winner with a four-year scholarship to attend the university. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership, and would like to thank them along with National Exchange Bank & Trust, the Fond du Lac Family YMCA, and Hopper’s Silk Screening & All-Star Trophy for helping us recognize our award winners! Last but certainly not least, HUGE THANKS to our event sponsors, Grande Cheese and Fox Valley Savings Bank for continuing to support our mission and vision for youth in the Fond du Lac community!
