We are proud to announce that the 2011 Reindeer Fun Run was able to give $27,000.00 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills!
Boys & Girls Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place for Kids.
As part of these programs, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills provided 23,484 meals in Southern Pines and 10,496 snacks in Aberdeen, serving nearly 2,000 members and community youth.
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 6:30 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.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the sponsors, volunteers & runners who were part of the 2011 event and made this possible!
