Season of Support: Celebrating Generosity
As we celebrate the holiday season and welcome a new year, everyone at the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you — our generous and supportive community. In a world full of challenges for youth, your continued support makes a meaningful difference. Because of you, we’re able to provide opportunities that enrich young lives every day. We’re grateful for all that 2025 brought and excited for what lies ahead in 2026. Thank you for helping us ensure Great Futures for our kids.
This holiday season was filled with powerful examples of generosity from across our community, including:
Our Adopt a Family program once again made the holidays brighter for Club families. This year, 62 adopters supported 74 families, providing gifts for 190 children. The gratitude shared by families — captured in our holiday tree collage — was overwhelming. Thank you to the individuals, families, businesses, and organizations who helped create joyful holiday memories.
We are especially thankful for the many local businesses and organizations who supported our families this season, including:
Buechel Stone, The Charity Club, The Commonwealth Companies, Drexel Building Supply, FVSBank, Hospice Home of Hope, Dynamic Chiropractic & Wellness Center, Divine Savior, Edward Jones – Chris Vitton, Holiday Automotive, EP-Direct, Ideal Chiropractic & Therapeutic Massage, Mercury Marine, Fond du Lac Noon Optimists, Service League of Fond du Lac, Silica For Your Home, Soroptimist International-Fond du Lac, Stuart’s Landscaping & Garden Center, Target, and Wabash.
Huge thanks to UScellular / T-Mobile for their “Better Together” donation delivered right to our Boys & Girls Club! Local and national representatives stopped by with over $1,500 in items — from sporting equipment for our Just Play Healthy Lifestyles program to arts and craft supplies for our creative spaces.
This generous support helps our Club kids build life skills, creativity, and confidence through hands-on learning.
Thank you for investing in our Club and our kids — we’re truly better together.
Our amazing friends at Michels Corporation donated a total of 80 four foot tall gingerbread house advent calendar kits to our Boys & Girls Club this holiday season. Each kit included stickers and instructions for decorating and using the gingerbread houses. Club members at a few of our afterschool sites have already tested them out, and they absolutely LOVE them!
Thank you, Michels!
For the past few years, our local PetSmart store has generously donated hundreds of stuffed animals to our Boys & Girls Club. This year, we received over 400 plush pals total and Club members were able to “adopt a pet” to take home for the holidays — bringing comfort, joy, lots of smiles, and warmed hearts! The kids always have so much fun picking out and naming their new furry friends.
Thank you, PetSmart!
Thank you to the Moraine Park Technical College Student Senate for their incredibly generous donation of over 100 boxes filled with hygiene products and other great items to our Club!
With that, we wish you ALL a very Happy Holidays and a safe and Happy New Year!
