For 28 Years YOU Have Made A Difference
Dear Friends,
When you support the Taco Bell Charity Golf Classic, you’re doing more than hitting the links--you’re helping build Great Futures for kids across Northeast Ohio. Because of you, more than 1,000 young people walk through our doors each day to a safe place where they can learn, grow and belong. A place where they can enjoy a healthy meal, get help with homework, explore new interests, and build meaningful relationships with caring mentors. At Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio, we believe every kid deserves the opportunity to thrive—and your support makes that possible. Clubs truly do change lives, and we want you to meet a few of the incredible young people who are growing and succeeding because of you: 
Demario
Demario is 14 and already dreaming big—he wants to become a cellular biologist. At the Club, he found more than a place to go after school. He found mentors who show up, support his learning, and encourage him to lead. Over time, his confidence has grown, his leadership skills have strengthened, and he’s built a strong vision for his future. “It’s a place where I can be myself and keep getting better,” he says. 
Katherine
Katherine, 7, is building confidence and skills every day at the Frank Jacinto Club in Lorain. With the support of bilingual staff, she’s learning to navigate both English and Spanish—growing academically while staying connected to her family and culture. Whether she’s solving math problems on the interactive board or encouraging her peers, Katherine is thriving in an environment designed to help her succeed. Because of you, kids like Katherine have a place where learning feels exciting, support feels natural, and every child can reach their full potential—no matter where they start. 
Timya
When Timya first came to the Club, she was quiet and kept to herself. With time, encouragement, and the support of caring staff, she began opening up, making friends, trying new things and finding her voice. Today, she’s a leader among her peers, helping younger members and stepping confidently into new opportunities. She found a place where she belongs—and the confidence to see what’s possible. These are just a few of the stories made possible by your support—stories of confidence built, goals discovered, and futures taking shape.
Thank you for supporting the Taco Bell Charity Golf Classic and for helping ensure our doors stay open for the kids and teens who need us most. |
Our Mission:
We provide safe, fun places for kids to go after school. As a premiere out-of-school time provider, we focus on academic success, healthy lifestyles and character development. About Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio: Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio was formed by the 2019 merger of Clubs in Cleveland, Akron, Lorain County and Sandusky. BGCNEO provides safe, fun places for kids ages 6-18 at 48 sites in five counties. A Community Call to Action: Hundreds of Northeast Ohio kids are now in danger of losing the Clubs sites that they come to for mentorship and support after-school. Cuts in federal Temporary Assistance to Families (TANF) and pandemic-relief funds to Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio will force multiple sites to close if we don’t find new revenue to bridge the gap. The good news is you can help. We hope you will consider a gift that will enable us to continue to serve the kids who need us most. PRIVATE DONATIONS
