Today, we honor Juneteenth — a day of reflection, remembrance, freedom, and hope.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

At Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sun Corridor, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential in an environment where they feel safe, valued, respected, and empowered. Today, we celebrate the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout history and recognize the importance of continuing to build communities rooted in equity, opportunity, and inclusion.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us reflect on the progress made, honor those who paved the way, and recommit ourselves to creating brighter futures for all.

A big thank you to Be Awesome Youth Coalition for spending time with our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Club members!
Through fun crafts, interactive games, and a lively round of charades, our youth had the opportunity to build friendships, engage their minds, and showcase their creativity. Each activity reinforced an important lesson about decision-making and the four key steps: Stop, Think, Act, and Reflect.
We are grateful for community partners like Be Awesome Youth Coalition who help equip our youth with valuable life skills while making learning fun and engaging. Thank you for making a positive impact on our Club members!

🥁🎶 A Year of Rhythm, Growth & Fun at Len Colla! 🎶🥁

As we wrapped up the 2025–2026 After School Program on May 18, we want to take a moment to celebrate another incredible year of Bucket Drumming at our Len Colla Branch!

For the second year in a row, Club members had the opportunity to discover the joy of music through rhythm, creativity, teamwork, and self-expression. Throughout the school year, youth learned new drumming techniques, built confidence, worked together as a team, and most importantly—had a lot of fun making music!

A very special THANK YOU goes to our amazing volunteer, Vicki Branum Sutera, for sharing her time, talent, and passion with our members. Vicki's dedication has helped make this program a highlight of the school year, creating meaningful experiences and lasting memories for so many young people.

From the first beat in August to the final performance in May, our bucket drummers showed us the power of music to inspire, connect, and bring smiles to every room.

Thank you, Vicki, for helping our members find their rhythm and end another fantastic school year on a high note! 💙

📸 Check out some photos and videos from our final Bucket Drumming session of the year!
