Email our Executive Director, Dan Monahan, at dan@harborareabgc.com  to find out about our next tournament.

Gym Sign SponsorshipsGym Sign Sponsorship Program!

Taking part in the Gym Sign Sponsorship program is one of the best ways to be recognized for your support.  This fundraiser program allows us to recognize those supporting the Club with signs displayed in the Gym.  These signs will be visible to thousands of parents and other adults that attend events held in the gym.

Sponsor a child!

Many of our members come from low- to moderate income households where their guardian(s) are not at home immediately after school to provide supervision and guidance.  Membership fees are kept low so that no child is denied membership but still some cannot afford the cost. Current fees are $20-$50 per year but it takes close to $350 per child to run the program each year.  Help be a part of something special for our less fortunate youth.  For just $50.00 you can sponsor a child so they can come to the Boys & Girls club for an entire year!

Become a Corporate sponsor!

For the past 25 years the Boys & Girls Club of the Harbor Area has made an effort to partner with local businesses and corporations.  Thanks to those who have committed their financial support, the Boys & Girls Club of the Harbor Area has been able to provide quality youth development services at an affordable price.  As a partner with the Boys & Girls Club, corporate sponsors provide more than just financial support, they provide support to todays youth to benefit their future.
