Please click here to read the press release.

It Just Takes One... Caring For Kids
This annual campaign begins in February. Board members solicit area businesses and individuals seeking donations to support our community.

Annual Golf Outing
The Annual Golf Outing is held in July at Forest Park Golf Course in Valparaiso. Golfers compete in a friendly tournament and enjoy a variety of contests and raffles throughout the day.
Different sponsorship levels are available. Please check back in the spring for information regarding the 2008 Annual Golf Outing.

Nothing But Net
The Nothing But Net program is held during the Valparaiso University Men's Basketball Season. Four local businesses donate $20 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County for every 3 point shot the Crusaders make.

Gym Sponsors
Advertising signs are sold to local businesses / groups to be hung in the Club gymnasium. Please click here for more information.

Athletic League Sponsorships
Our Athletic League Sponsors find great incentive in this advertising program that turns the Club members' t-shirts into "walking billboards" as members wear the sponsoring company's logo on their back during games, at school, and around the community. Sponsorship amounts vary and are based on the number of youth participating.

Steak & Burger Dinner
This is one of the biggest fundraisers nationally for Boys & Girls Clubs. Our annual October event offers the unique twist where adults eat burgers and Club members eat steaks. The dinner brings community and Boys & Girls Club members together for a fun-filled evening by seating them together at each table to share stories and enjoy a guest speaker. Past speakers have included Bruce Jenner, Dan Hampton, and Kerri Strug. A number of table sponsorship opportunities are available. Information for the 2008 dinner will be available in the summer.
Please contact the Development Office, 464-7282, for additional information and to learn more about how your donation can affect over 5,000 boys and girls.
