Boys & Girls Club of Chicopee Inc

What's on your wish list this holiday season?  For our kids, it's a Great Future.  You have the opportunity to positively influence and impact the youth of our community this year by Giving the Gift of a Great Future to our members.

The Mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Chicopee is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.  For over 102 years, our Club has helped to provide Great Futures for all young people that have entered our doors.  Throughout the year, we are given the gift of amazing kids who come into our Club every day and share with us their stories of determination, triumph, and perseverance.  You can join in the season and help us Give the Gift of a Great Future to the kids in our city.  Without safe havens like Boys & Girls Clubs, children would have fewer opportunities to receive positive guidance and support.

Our neighborhood demographics

• 63% of our families receive public assistance
• 94% of our families' total household income is less than $25,000
• 54% of the adults in the household identify as unemployed

"Great Futures Start Here" - Each word conveys important impressions about the Boys & Girls Club of Chicopee:

• GREAT – Leverages the power of the BE GREAT message: Clubs help kids BE GREAT.
• FUTURES – References lives not yet lived; utilizes the aspirational appeal of fulfilling potential.
• START – Emphasizes the opportunity to change, even save, young lives; the need is urgent -- now is the time to start.
• HERE – The Club is a physical place, with a specific and special role in the community; the magic happens here.

Will the next great actor, musician, athlete, physician, scientist, attorney, or leader come from the Boys & Girls Club of Chicopee?  They have the potential...  With your help and ours!  

P.S.  No gift is too big or too small when it comes to our children's futures.  Thank you!
