An anonymous donor in Blaine is calling for donations to match the $20,000 she is pledging to the Blaine Boys and Girls clubhouse. All funds received will be invested in Blaine.
The Boys and Girls Club of Whatcom County was founded in 1946. There are four clubhouses within the county, including the Blaine clubhouse.
“This Blaine resident is very passionate about investing in youth in her community and she is committed to making a meaningful difference in their lives,” chief development officer Sara Maloney said. “She hopes that her gift will inspire others to give generously to support young people in Blaine.”
The donor made this pledge during the last week of September. Those interested in donating have until Saturday, November 30 to match the $20,000.
“We are fully anticipating that there will be multiple gifts of varying amounts with a goal to raising the full $20,000,” Maloney said. “There is no requirement that this only be one person.”
Donations can be made online at whatcomclubs.org. Checks can also be mailed to the Bellingham administration office at 1616 Cornwall Avenue, Suite 111, Bellingham, Washington, 98225.
Separately, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Whatcom County received a $25,000 grant from the UPS Foundation. The grant was announced on October 7, and will be used toward funding literacy programs and STEM sessions for all members of the club’s Academic Success Program.
