Reindeer "Fun"raiser
We are celebrating the 5th Annual Reindeer Fun Run with our 1st Annual Reindeer “Fun”raiser to Benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills.
Every year we donate 100% of the proceeds of the Reindeer Fun Run to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills. Together with you, this year we want to do even more! We encourage you to set a fitness goal for yourself, and a “Fun”raising goal that you can share with your family, friends and co-workers. We have set a lofty goal of raising an additional $15,000 for this great local cause, and along with all of the kids from the clubs, we thank you for your generosity.

From games and athletics to drug prevention workshops, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills offers young people a range of fun and productive activities. Clubs are open each day after school from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. – when research has shown children to be most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky behaviors. In the summer, Clubs and special summer-only sites open their doors all day to young people with nowhere else to go.
A trained, caring staff implements proven youth development strategies and creates a stable, supportive environment for children and teens ages six to 18. Specially designed programs concentrate on developing job readiness, study skills, leadership, self-esteem, good health and social responsibility among Boys & Girls Club members.
- In 2009 & 2010, every $1 of corporate sponsorship resulted in a $2 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills.
The Reindeer Fun Run has donated $50,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills & is the Club’s single largest fundraiser.
