💜 Fuel a great cause! ⛽️

Now through October, stop by your local Shell station and look for the PURPLE GIVING PUMPS! A portion of sales from these pumps will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs across Washington—including Clubs right here in our community.

Our teens wrapped up an exciting week full of teamwork, spirit, and adventure! ⚡🏆

This summer, our Teen Program has been competing in Harry Potter House Teams, earning points through fun challenges and an exciting Spirit Week. To finish off the week, they took a trip to the Broadway Farmers Market, where they enjoyed the sunshine, explored local vendors, and practiced the public transportation skills they learned through Pierce Transit. We're so proud of their teamwork, independence, and willingness to try new things! 💛

🚀 Space came to us! Our members had an amazing time exploring the wonders of space without ever leaving the Club. We appreciate this unforgettable learning experience!
