Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe commits to annual donation to Boys and Girls Club

The Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe has donated $8,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe. It will be split up to support two funds at the club, $3,000 directly to the Club to support their ongoing operations and $5,000 towards its new building.

The Club reopened to serve the children of essential workers and those going back to work in-person in June, and has remained open to support their members and families during the distanced learning and hybrid phases during the school year.

“Staying open for full days this fall has added huge costs to the Club’s operating budget,” said Club President Terri Arnold. “This donation from the Kiwanis Club will really help us to meet those costs and keep fees for members as low as possible.”

The Kiwanis Club intends to donate $5,000 a year to the building fun for five years, earning their place on the donor wall inside the new building.

“We are so grateful to the Kiwanis Club for stepping up and being the first service Club in our region to pledge their commitment to the Club and our new building,” said Club Executive Director Jude Wood. “The building is progressing well, but major donors like the Kiwanis Club are vital to ensuring that we can complete the building and provide our kids and community with the safe and high quality environment they deserve.”

Any business or individual interested in being a major donor to the Building Campaign should contact Jude Wood on 530 542 0838 or jwood@bgclt.org.
