As the largest youth-serving organization in Milwaukee, it is imperative that we provide a supportive learning environment and equitable access to technology and connectivity while students are learning virtually.

On this Giving Tuesday, we want to give thanks to each and every person, group, and company that helps us provide our youth with critical social-emotional care, nutrition, and a retreat from the stressors of learning through sports, art, STEM activities, and time with their mentors and friends.

THANK YOU.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee are doing Whatever it Takes to keep children engaged in fun and educational activities during this difficult time. Now, more than ever, we need your support to continue our work to help Club kids while our sites are closed. Our meal distribution program for kids and teens and our Clubs@Home virtual programming portal are two examples of our work. As we plan to reopen our Clubs we will also need support to ensure we provide a safe, healthy, and engaging environment for our members.

To help us realize this mission, we invite you to participate in our Whatever it Takes 5K Run/Walk presented by We Energies Foundation! By registering using the form below, you and your children can commit to enjoying this healthy challenge during the week of May 24 - 31, all while showing your support for Boys & Girls Clubs members. All participants will receive a downloadable runner's bib and finisher's certificate, in addition to a medal via mail!

Dear Ava,

This back-to-school season is unlike any other. Students are facing unprecedented challenges like learning new technology, adjusting to studying independently, and coping with limited time with their friends, which means nurturing environments like our Clubs are more important than ever.

Our organization has also grappled with unprecedented challenges in the face of this pandemic, like transforming our entire service model several times in order to meet the evolving needs of Milwaukee's youth and communities. We have also faced challenges ensuring families are knowledgeable about the ways in which we can support them.

We're excited to share something else unprecedented; a new partnership we have formed with local Cricket Wireless stores. Cricket Wireless reached out and offered to support us with a membership awareness campaign on two of Milwaukee's most listened to radio stations, 103.7 KISS FM and 99.1 The Mix. While you're listening to these stations now through October 4, you'll hear two of their popular on-air personalities, DJ Gee-A on KISS FM and Elizabeth Kay on The Mix share our message of support for Milwaukee's youth. Cricket Wireless could have used this valuable air-time to promote their products and services, but instead they're using two week's worth of their messaging to amplify our voice instead, helping us ensure families know that the Clubs are doing whatever it takes to help students succeed in their virtual learning journey. Cricket and KISS FM have also donated an email campaign helping us reach tens of thousands of Milwaukee families with our message, as well as messaging on KISS and Mix's online streaming platform.

Learn more about this innovative partnership and join us in showing our gratitude to Cricket Wireless.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee
