Raise-the-Paddle for our Programs!
Your donation at any level keeps the doors open at the Kirkland Boys & Girls Club. Our Raise-the-Paddle portion of the auction will go directly towards providing summer camp scholarships for our members and much-needed helmets for those young athletes in our football program. The Club runs two major programs in the fall—Junior Kang and Junior Rebel Football. These targeted high-yield programs host over 250 youth from our community every year and promote good character and healthy lifestyles. We have purchased 60 new DNA concussion-resistant helmets in the last two years and with your help, we wish to fit every child with these state-of-the-art helmets by the upcoming 2012 season. Every dollar raised during our $125 level Raise the Paddle portion of the evening will go toward the purchase of these helmets, helping to ensure the safety of our youth.
