Dear BGCSF Families, Friends, and Supporters,

Happy Thanksgiving!

On behalf of everyone at Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF), I want to express my gratitude to you for being a part of our community.

Above all else, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with the thousands of Club youth who access our programs each year. Making a positive difference in the life of each school-age youth who joins our programs is our passion and a responsibility that we embrace. We are proud of the work we do across our 14 Clubs in San Francisco and at Camp Mendocino, always putting the best interest of youth first. Our beautiful Clubhouses provide a second home for young people all year long, focusing on programs and activities that support academic success, healthy lifestyles, good character and community engagement, and job readiness with earning potential.  

As well, I want to thank all our supporters, who prioritize the Club in their volunteer service and/or their philanthropic giving. Your trust and generosity throughout the year is critical to our ability to meet our mission during the school year and summer. BGCSF remains strong because of the collective support of our entire community.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco!

Sincerely,

Rob Connolly
President, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco
