Meet Araya, a 10-year-old at our Regence Club. When she and her dad Ian moved to Portland, he was doing it all—single-parenting, working, and putting himself through college—and he was looking for a village to help carry the load. 🤝

He found that village two blocks from work at the Regence Boys & Girls Club. 💙

"It's a lifesaver. If you're thinking about where your money needs to go, it needs to be here."

Read Araya's story here: https://mailchi.mp/bgcportland/af2pkgswd9-6754700
And learn how her world—and her dad's—has opened wide because of the support and opportunities provided by the Boys & Girls Club. 🫶

As we wrap up the school year and count down to summer program ☀️ launching June 22, every dollar raised goes directly toward making ✨ Anything Possible ✨ for Portland Metro youth and teens this summer. Give today: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/form/0qQSxQ?vid=1qovct

We're still reeling from an unforgettably impactful evening we shared with you all at 🌟 Be Great Ball 🌟 on May 15th. Community partners, Club alumni, elected officials, and local changemakers all showed up to celebrate and support Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland Metro in our 80th year, and we couldn't be more grateful. ✨

More shoutouts to come, but we first want to start by thanking Portland Art Museum Venues for another amazing year in their beautiful space, our presenting sponsor Dick's Auto Group, our silver sponsors CareOregon and Elmer's Restaurant, our photo booth sponsor Underdog Portland, and all our sponsors who helped make this night possible! ✨

Our Inukai Club members got a special surprise visit this month from some WWE superstars! 🤼

We want to give a HUGE shoutout to Damian Priest , Trick Williams , and Mia Yim for bringing the energy 💪, sharing their stories, and answering some fun questions from our youth.

2nd Grader: "What's your favorite food?" Damian Priest: "I like pizza." *crowd erupts* 🍕

Also sending a special thanks to Boys & Girls Clubs of America for helping make this event happen. WWE and BGCA are recognizing 10 years of partnership this year, and it was such a honor to be a part of the celebration! 🥳
