TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Big Bend is seeking sponsorships and support to continue providing after-school programs for local children and families.<\/p>\n
CEO Kacy Dennis said the hours after school, particularly between 2 and 6 p.m., can be when youth are at a higher risk for crime or other negative activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose after-school hours are critical for kids to have a safe and productive place to be,\u201d Dennis said. \u201cThis is where we work to fill that gap of time with positive activities where they can learn and grow in a safe environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
The organization is preparing for its upcoming Champions for Children: Denim & Diamonds Gala on Sept. 24. While tables for the event are sold out, the organization still needs support.<\/p>\n
