The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay

Thank you, Zaire! 💛💚🏈

Last night, Green Bay Club members had the chance to meet Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin as he announced his Tackles for Literacy Campaign. A Boys & Girls Club alum, Zaire focuses on giving back to the Clubs in communities that he plays in. This season, he has committed to donating $44 (his number) for every tackle he makes to literacy programs at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Green Bay.

To celebrate, members from both Green Bay Clubhouses enjoyed a pizza party, asked Zaire many questions, gathered for a story time, and had the opportunity to get items signed! During his question-and-answer time, Zaire mentioned the importance of literacy, even in sports. He told our members that to make it to the NFL, he had to not only work hard in his sport but also work hard in school to have the opportunity to play in college and get drafted into the professional league. We are so grateful for Zaire's support of local youth.

As Club members keep working hard this football season to bank up reading minutes and unlock fun rewards, you can support them alongside Zaire Franklin! Consider matching a portion of his $44 donations to support literacy growth, even outside of the classroom, in Green Bay students.

Thank you to Shelice's Angels Foundation, Packer Fastener, Pella Windows and Doors, and Pep's Pizza Co. for their partnership in sponsoring and matching the Tackles for Literacy Campaign.

Thank you to everyone who celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with us at our Open Houses! Members, their families, Club staff, and community members all celebrated with lots of food and crafts, and time spent together! We also invited our friends at Casa ALBA Melanie to join in the fun. 🎉

Teens in the Career Ties workforce readiness program decided to participate in the Pulsera Project for Hispanic Heritage Month. The Pulsera Project is a Fair-Trade organization that partners with artisans in Central America who handweave colorful bracelets, or pulseras. Each bracelet is unique and comes with information about the artisan who created it. Through this project, our teens had an opportunity to learn more about Central American culture, connect with a global community, and support fair-trade employment. 🪢

We are also very grateful for the partnership with Schreiber Foods in their annual Week of Impact. Thank you to their team for volunteering at our Open House dinners year after year and making a difference in our community! These events are made possible thanks to the support of community partners like Schreiber Foods. Your generosity helped make these Open Houses special for our families! 💙

Wow! We had a blast welcoming families to our Clubhouses last week for the Nagel Unit's Back to School Family Night and the Lutsey Unit's Candyland Family Night. 🍬🎊✏️ The evening was filled with activities, food, crafts, and raffle prizes. Family Nights are a great chance to see what Club is all about, meet our Club staff, take a peek at the programs our members love, enjoy quality time over a free meal, and maybe even leave a prize winner.
A big thank you to our sponsor for the Nagel Unit's Family Night, BMO Harris (BMO U.S.), who helped make the night possible! Thank you to Starz Barber & Beauty of Green Bay and MVP Barbershop for providing complimentary cuts. We are also grateful for community partners Green Bay Schools and House of Hope Green Bay, who showed up to provide information about their resources.
Here's to a great school year! We hope to see you again at our upcoming Hispanic Heritage Month Family Nights next week. 🥳

We are grateful for the Greater Green Bay community's generosity that has made sure young people have what they need to get the school year started right! ✏️💙🎒✨

Between the Packers' last pre-season game and the Badgers versus Notre Dame game at Lambeau, Base Companies LLC's tailgate events gathered heaps of donations for Boys & Girls Club. Items varied from school and art supplies, sports equipment, prizes, and items to restock the Clubhouses' Basic Needs Closets. A special thank you to Paul and Zoi Belschner and the entire Base Companies team for their continued support.
