Dear Friends of BGCC,

It's that time of year again. Every year seems to get shorter! On behalf of Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, I’d like to invite you to participate in our annual Holiday Gift Drive.

Every year we strive to ensure our Club members are able to feel the holiday cheer that comes around at this time of the year, and know that they are valued by their communities. Our goal is to collect holiday gifts for 2,500 Club members, ages 6-18!

If you or your company would like to participate, please send a confirmation email to [email protected] or call 312-235-8028.

If you have any questions about the supply needs or would like to make a donation in support of the drive, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago. Together we are creating brighter futures for Chicago’s youth!
