This year’s For the Kids! event is inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of our BGCTC Club members. For the past few months, BGCTC teens have been hard at work in "the tank" developing their own innovative concepts that will impact social change either in the Club or the broader Club community.

This week, the "FTK! Tank" teams brought their concepts forward to compete in front of our very own BGCTC "sharks" for the opportunity to win a Grand Prize of up to $5,000 and further develop their concept and business plan with a professional mentor in the field.

On the night of April 22nd, at For the Kids!, each "FTK! Team" will be recognized for their incredible work and the Grand Prize-Winning team will be announced on stage in front of our guests. Event attendees will, then, have an amazing opportunity in that moment to make their own investment in the innovation and creativity of our future generation!

A HUGE thank you to Adrian Wilson and Bryson Studios for working with our FTK! Tank Teams to capture the entire planning and development process from start to finish! We are so excited to share the film release with all of our guests at For the Kids! 2022 - we can't wait! Get your tickets at boysandgirls.org/for-the-kids.
