𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸. 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Our 2026 Annual Meeting brought together longtime supporters and new friends to reflect on our accomplishments, celebrate those who have shaped our journey, and look toward the future. It was a meaningful evening that reminded us of the people and partnerships that continue to move BCDI-G forward.

This year's theme, 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱, was intentional. We recognize that the work we do today is built on the vision, dedication, and generosity of those who came before us. As we consider the road ahead, we carry that legacy with us.

We were honored to welcome 𝗘𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗲𝘆𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿, who reminded us that every child needs a champion. Reflecting on her own life, she shared how her grandmother and others believed in her, encouraged her, and helped shape the person she became. Her message was a powerful reminder of the lasting difference one caring adult can make in a child's life.

Another highlight came from a former BCDI-G student who shared how her experiences in our program helped shape her journey and contributed to her success.

We also had the opportunity to honor 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗡. 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻, whose 20 years of service and leadership have made a lasting mark on BCDI-G. While she has passed the baton to Interim Executive Director Jocquita Williams, her commitment to our mission remains strong, and we're grateful for the many ways she still continues to contribute to our journey.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀!

🏅 Legacy of Leadership Recognition...Karen N. Thompson

Whether you've walked alongside us for decades or recently joined our village, you are part of the story we're continuing to write.

Special thanks to New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, Catering by Lucy, The Cake Lady, and Simply Agrazing for helping make our gathering possible.

We left the evening grateful for where we've been, encouraged by the impact we're making today, and excited about the possibilities ahead.

Who says football is just for the boys? Not us.

Girls, it’s time to grab that flag, learn the game, and show ’em what you’ve got at the All Girls Sports Expo: Flag Football!

Glenwood Recreation Center, 2010 Coliseum Blvd.

Ready to get in the game? Register here:

We’re grateful to be a United Way of Greater Greensboro Strategic Partner and to be part of this year’s workplace giving campaign season.

Yesterday, we joined United Way’s Campaign Kick-Off Open House, connecting with employee campaign managers as they prepared to engage their workplaces in giving. We also had the opportunity to share more about BCDI-G at Syngenta's United Way Strategic Partners Campaign Rally and fun day.

Workplace giving helps connect employees with local organizations doing meaningful work throughout our community, and we’re thankful for the continued support and partnership of United Way and participating companies.
