🥊 Celebrating Michael Rickard, 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame inductee!

Michael was a Boys & Girls Club member from 1978 to 1982. He spent his summers at the Club, participated in boxing and built memories that stayed with him long after his Club years.

At his Hall of Fame induction, Michael reflected on what the Club gave him and the foundation it helped build.

“A kid can walk through your doors not knowing what they're capable of and walk out with a foundation that holds for the rest of their life. I'm standing here because of that foundation.”

Michael went on to become a Navy SEAL and eventually served as a Master Chief Petty Officer. He credits lessons from his time at the Club, including hard work and serving others, as lasting influences throughout his career and life.

We’re proud to celebrate Michael and the lasting impact of his Boys & Girls Club experience. Congratulations on your induction into the 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame!

đź’™ Celebrating Chris Usry, 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame inductee!

Chris was a Boys & Girls Club member from 1991 to 1997. Her years at the Club helped shape her love of working with young people and the path she would take in her career.

At her Hall of Fame induction, Chris reflected on the people she remembers most from her time at the Club.

“The people I remember, the people who made all the difference to me, were the people who showed up every day for us at the Club.”

Chris also talked about what she learned from the adults who worked at the Club.
“You don't hang out at the Club and work with kids for 20 years. You have to care about kids, and that's what I remember.”

Today, Chris serves as Assistant Principal at Pathways Innovation Center, where she continues to work with young people and help them build their futures.

We’re proud to celebrate Chris and the lasting impact of her Boys & Girls Club experience. Congratulations on your induction into the 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame!

🥊 Celebrating Damarian Kelly, 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame inductee!

Damarian was a Boys & Girls Club member from 2006 to 2013. During those years, he built relationships with staff and other Club members that have continued to influence his life.

At his Hall of Fame induction, Damarian talked about the impact those relationships had on him.

“I was a Boys & Girls Club member. I am a Boys & Girls Club member, and will always be a Boys & Girls Club member.”

He also shared how Club staff pushed him to reach goals he didn’t think were possible.

“The Boys and Girls Club, especially the staff members, they pushed me in ways I didn't think I could be pushed. They helped me reach goals that I didn't think I could reach, and they helped me through the hard times.”

Today, Damarian is a small business owner and professional boxer, and he continues to mentor younger boxers.

“Without them, I don't think I'd be the person I am today, to be honest.”

We’re proud to celebrate Damarian and the lasting connection he has with the Boys & Girls Club. Congratulations on your induction into the 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame! 💙

🏀 Celebrating Ally Orr, 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame inductee!

Ally was a Boys & Girls Club member from 1998 to 2002. She spent her summers playing basketball, building friendships and learning from coaches and mentors who became an important part of her life.

At her Hall of Fame induction, Ally shared that her time at the Club gave her much more than a place to play.

“Those summers gave me so much more than a place to play basketball. They gave me community. They gave me teammates, mentors, and friendships that I still have today.”

She also talked about the lessons she carried with her beyond the basketball court.

“I learned the importance of teamwork, showing up for others, being a part of something that's bigger than myself, and learning how to lead.”

Today, Ally is an educator, soccer coach, community volunteer and youth advocate. We’re proud to celebrate the impact she continues to make in the lives of young people and our community.

Congratulations, Ally, on your induction into the 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame! đź’™

🥊 Celebrating John Kornkven, 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame inductee!

John started going to the Boys Club when he was just 5 or 6 years old, following his dad, Bill “Big Bill” Kornkven, who was the Club’s longtime boxing coach. John began boxing at age 6 and spent his childhood surrounded by older kids, coaches and mentors who helped shape him.

At his Hall of Fame induction, John talked about what made the Club special.
“When you were in the club, you belonged. It didn't matter where you're from. You know who your family was. You just belonged.”

John said the Club gave him the opportunity to build relationships with people from different backgrounds and learn from older kids and adults who invested in him.

“Through that opportunity, I was able to build relationship, be mentored not by just my dad but a bunch of the guys that were there, the athletes as well as the staff. It was a great opportunity.”

John has carried those lessons with him throughout his life. Today, he works as an associate broker and land specialist at CBC Cornerstone Real Estate. A licensed real estate broker for more than 30 years, John specializes in commercial properties, land and development.

We’re proud to celebrate John and welcome him into the 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame. Congratulations, John!

🩵 Celebrating Johnny Herman, 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame inductee!

Johnny spent much of his youth at the Casper Boys Club, from 1971 to 1989, where he became part of the boxing team and formed friendships that stayed with him. He remembers a place where kids from all backgrounds belonged and where being part of the team meant looking out for one another.

At his induction ceremony, Johnny reflected on the Club’s impact and the young people who, like him, needed a place to belong.

“When you belonged, you belonged. It was literally one for all and all for one.”

Johnny spoke openly about the challenges he faced growing up and how his life changed over time. Today, he has served as a chaplain at the Natrona County Jail for about 15 years, offering encouragement and hope to others.
“If there's hope for me, there's hope for any kid in that place,” he shared.

Johnny accepted his Hall of Fame recognition not just for himself, but for the kids whose stories may never be told.

“I’m accepting this today for all those little Johnny Hermans that will never get a chance to be up here.”

Johnny, thank you for sharing your story and reminding us why every kid deserves a place to belong. Congratulations on your induction into the 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame!

🏀 Celebrating Rachel Bouzis, 2026 BGCCW Alumni Hall of Fame inductee!

Rachel attended the Old Main Boys & Girls Club on A Street from 2000 to 2003, where she played basketball as a member of the Casper Swoops. The friendships she made through those summers have lasted well beyond her Club years.

At the Hall of Fame luncheon, Rachel shared how those basketball experiences taught her lessons that went far beyond the court.

“Youth sports are so important because they teach you how to be a teammate, and they teach you how to be with people you don't always like, and how to not be good at something, and to practice.”

Today, Rachel serves as Director of Policy & Learning at the Natrona Collective Health Trust and continues to contribute to the community through civic involvement, volunteer work and writing.

As a parent, her connection to the Club has taken on new meaning. She hopes her daughter will one day have the same opportunity to learn, play, build friendships and discover the lessons that come through being part of a team.

We’re proud to celebrate Rachel and the impact she continues to make in our community. Congratulations, Rachel! 🩵

Congratulations to Brynn M., the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming’s 2026–2027 Youth of the Year! 🎉

Brynn, a senior at Natrona County High School, was announced as Youth of the Year at our 28th Annual Awards & Recognition Breakfast. She will receive an $8,000 scholarship from the Ruth R. Ellbogen Scholarship Education Fund and advance to the Wyoming State Youth of the Year competition in Cheyenne.

At the breakfast, Brynn shared what the Club means to her:

“The Club has been there, a place where I am not defined by my accomplishments. I am just a girl who is content with who she is and who she’s become, a girl who’s enough.”

We are proud of Brynn and all she has accomplished, and we look forward to cheering her on as she takes the next step in her Youth of the Year journey.

Congratulations, Brynn! We’re excited to see where your journey takes you. 💙
