_____________________________
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Greenville County, SC annually serves more than 1,900 local children and youth.
The Great Futures 5K was created to support the life changing programs of the Club to ensure that all children in Greenville have Great Futures.
Every day The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs inspire their members. Whether encouraging young people to complete their homework, play sports or recreational activities, enter an art competition or have a healthy snack, Club staff know the important role they play in creating the wholesome environment kids need. The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs are National Affiliates of Boys & Girls Clubs of America and use the same award winning curriculum, but with the additional resources that are provided by Salvation Army programs, Officers, staff, and trained volunteers through Safe From Harm, and much more.
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club is committed to providing quality afterschool programs where educational enrichment is just the beginning. By focusing on the child as a whole and their needs, more children have great futures because of Club programs.
Event Objectives:
- To raise critical funds for The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Greenville County, SC
- To raise awareness of the Club's successful programs that help youth become better students so that they may graduate high school.
- To bring attention to the needs of our Club Members, and the unique athletic, educational, wellness, and artistic opportunities they receive through The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club.
