Gratitude & Giving Back
This time of year is a great time for reflection, gratitude and reconnecting with loved ones and friends. Reflection means more this year…so much has happened. The last twelve months have tried so hard to divide us. At the Boys & Girls Club we remain whole; a reliable source of support for so many children and their families.
Our focus throughout Thanksgiving and the holiday season is to create an environment filled with gratitude, community service and giving back. We ask our members to consider ways they can return kindness to a community that has shown them so much. We ask that YOU consider the same in helping us to fulfill our MISSION.
Your gift to the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac makes a big impact for kids who are counting on us. The simple things mean everything to kids, especially those who are struggling. A healthy snack, a hot meal, learning support, a caring adult who will be there no matter what…this is what we provide kids every single day!
A safe space. Someone who believes in you. A chance to try something new. THANK YOU for giving countless Club kids moments like these during another challenging year. While so much in this world still feels complicated as we continue to navigate our way through a pandemic, your donation is an easy way to help kids through the challenges they’re facing today to ensure great futures are still possible tomorrow.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Together FDL is a collaboration of nonprofits (including the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac!) that have come together to help our community and ignite the power of philanthropy on GivingTuesday. Together, we feed, heal, shelter, educate, develop, nurture, and inspire people of every age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status.
If you feel compelled to take action on GivingTuesday (November 30), visit togetherfdl.com for a list of participating organizations and follow the steps on the homepage!
