This past year has been challenging for many charities in their efforts to raise the needed funds to continue to provide programs and services and the Boys and Girls Club is no exception. The recent cancellation of the annual Zed Haunted House event has certainly impacted the fundraising efforts in support of the Boys and Girls Club.

In these challenging times, children and families are isolated. struggling to cope and understand and are forced to wrestle with other mental health issues. Every child deserves the chance to exceed beyond the circumstances that surround them.

“Despite the challenges, our amazing staff team and dedicated volunteers have been able to adapt and continue to respond to the more than 1,500 children and youth who need our programs and services now more than ever.” states Rob Lewis, Executive Director.

Boys and Girls Clubs ensure children and youth are connected to others and the world around them. We aim to cultivate authentic, caring relationships, opportunities, and connections to create a sense of belonging among and between children, adults, and community.

There are more than 1,500 children and youth in Red Deer and Red Deer County looking for connections; a mentor or someone to look up to; a safe place to go and make friends; somewhere to feel valued and a sense of belonging.
