Support Our Work

Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence believes in developing strong, ongoing relationships with its supporters. Many individuals, colleges, prep schools, corporations, and foundations support our mission, both financially and in volunteer hours. Without this support, we would not be able to change the lives of kids with positive outcomes.

In this section, you can find our community and corporate supporters, along with links to their websites. Our Annual Report lists our supporters as well.

We invite you to join us.

For information on how to donate and/or sponsor a program, contact Chief Development Officer Paul Grand Pre at pgrandpre@lawrencebgc.com. To volunteer, contact Suzanne Fischer at sfischer@lawrencebgc.com.

Auction

We held our Annual Auction on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at Andover Country Club. The annual auction is the premier social event north of Boston, and this year was a big success, raising nearly $600,000!

Your support will help make the BGCL Auction a success. In turn, you make it possible for us to help every child who comes through our doors to achieve academic success, choose a healthy lifestyle, and contribute to the community. Your generosity will be promoted at the event and receive the attention of some of the most influential people north of Boston.

“The club is my second home” is how many children describe BGCL. On any given day, up to 500 kids seek us out for a safe place to connect with friends, benefit from volunteer tutors and mentors, eat a nutritious supper, and discover talents in sports, STEM programs, the arts, leadership groups,, and so much more.

The rewards are high – 100 percent of our high school seniors graduated last year, with most choosing to attend college!
