DAYTON, OH, February 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) A generous $7,500 contribution from CareSource will support Boys & Girls Club of Dayton programs in the areas of academic success, social and civil engagement and healthy lifestyles.
These programs offered meet the needs of the total child and are vital to helping them reach their full potential and becoming caring, productive, responsible adults. The afterschool homework program, Power Hour, helps kids become more successful in school by providing homework help and tutoring sessions. Designed to develop character and leadership skills, Torch Club focuses on small-group leadership and community service, which is a crucial part of character development. The Triple Play program focuses on educating kids about the importance of nutrition and physical fitness and teaches them to make healthy lifestyle choices.
CareSource Executive Director, Cathy Ponitz, says the ongoing partnership between the two organizations will continue to benefit the children of the Dayton community.
"We are so proud of our partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton. We're both working hard to ensure that children are healthy, educated and ultimately connected to this community in a positive way. This grant will allow them [the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton] to continue to work their magic," said Ponitz.
Established in 1930, the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton (BGCD) provides daily afterschool and all day summer programs to children ages 5 to 18, getting them off the streets during the most dangerous time of the day, between 2:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Each year BGCD provides approximately 600 Montgomery County youth with a safe and positive place to learn and grow. At the Boys & Girls Club children can spend their non-school hours surrounded by caring adults and engaged in enriching, age appropriate youth development activities. Club members have access to an array of programs in the core areas of Academic Success, Civic & Social Engagement, and Healthy Lifestyles. Membership fees are low and affordable and afterschool participation includes a nutritious meal served daily. BGCD is part of the national federation of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which includes some 4,000 Club locations in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and U.S. military bases worldwide serving 4.2 million youth annually.
