Boys & Girls Club of Benton County

10/15/2026

Each month, a Club member from each location is chosen to be the Youth of the Month. They are selected because they go above and beyond expectations and exemplify all it means to be a Boys & Girls Club member. Help us celebrate the September winners! Thank you Whataburger for sponsoring Youth of the Month. The kids are always happy to receive their swag bags!

We are so grateful for this great partnership to support our Club Members!!

📣 Operation: Stuff It NWA is back📣

From November 1 through December 12, we’re collecting food and toys benefiting Boys & Girls Club of Benton County, Arkansas Children’s Northwest and Rogers Public Schools!

How do you participate?
Visit our local game stores and donate! Our amazing friends have partnered with us to make this our biggest and best drive yet!

Each store is a donation drop off location, and each has put up a Pokémon 30th Anniversary UPC for its own prize drawing!

Every $5 worth of food or toy donations earns you one entry at the store where you donate. Each store’s drawing is independent, so donations at multiple locations give you chances to win in multiple drawings!

We encourage you to make the rounds and support every participating shop. Browse their shelves, pick up something for your collection, discover a new place to play, and bring a donation along. These stores are stepping up for our community, and we want to show up for them, too!

Participating Stores & Drop Off Locations

Gear Gaming Fayetteville 3029 N College Ave Fayetteville
Gear Gaming Bentonville 1400 SE Walton Blv Bentonville
Games Explosion 1110 Mathias Dr Springdale
Hidden Vault Games 4500 W Walnut St Rogers
Final Boss Games 5320 W Sunset Ave Springdale

Bring some food. Bring a toy. Bring a friend. And share this post to help spread the word!

Let’s see what Northwest Arkansas can do when we all come together!

One gift. Twice the impact. Twice the opportunity. 💙

Right now, every gift to the Mark & Rachel Malo Scholarship Fund will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $35,000.

For a Club kid or teen, scholarship assistance can open the door to so much: STEM projects, healthy meals, homework help, new friendships, caring mentors and a place where they can discover what they’re capable of.

With 61% of Club members relying on scholarship assistance, your gift can help make sure cost never stands between a young person and everything waiting for them behind our Blue Doors.

September, you were a good one. 💙📸

New friendships, big wins, hands-on learning, teen adventures, and plenty of everyday Club moments in between.

Here’s a little look at what happens behind our Blue Doors when kids get the space to learn, play, belong, and just be kids.

September at the Club. That’s a wrap! 🍂

Mark & Rachel Malo believed in showing up for young people.

As a coach, mentor and Board President, Mark gave his time, encouragement, and unwavering belief in what Club kids could become. Today, the Mark & Rachel Malo Scholarship Fund carries that legacy forward by helping more local kids and teens walk through our Blue Doors.

Every scholarship means more opportunities to find their thing, connect with caring mentors, make new friends and discover what they’re capable of.

And right now, every gift will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $35,000.

Help us carry Mark’s legacy forward and open the door for another Club kid. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Mobil 1 Fall Classic at Topgolf! Between the friendly competition, team camaraderie, and plenty of laughs, the best part was seeing our community come together for kids and teens across Benton County.

Special thanks to this year’s event chairs, Corey Bender, SVP Merchandising, Hardlines at Walmart, and Leslie Leonard, SVP, GMM Merchandising, Beauty & Personal Care at Walmart, for helping make the day possible.

We’re incredibly grateful to ExxonMobil, our sponsors, community partners, Board members, and every team who showed up for Club kids. Your support opens more Blue Doors to mentors, experiences, and opportunities that help young people discover what they’re capable of.

And congratulations to our Fall Classic champions! 🏆
