GO BLUE FOR GREAT FUTURES

Go Blue for Great Futures is an annual, month-long giving campaign held each June—bringing together community spirit, local shopping, dining, and doing good. Throughout the month, local businesses and organizations step up in creative and meaningful ways, from donating a portion of sales, hosting special promotions that give back, to supporting the Club with brand awareness initiatives.

It’s a fun, high-energy celebration that invites the entire community to get involved—because every purchase, every visit, and every act of support helps build brighter futures for our local youth.

Each participating business will host a special “day of giving” event, and a portion of the day’s proceeds will directly support the Boys & Girls Club’s life-changing youth development programs. The initiative also shines a spotlight on the vital work the Club does every day—offering kids and teens a safe, supportive place to grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

“This campaign isn’t just about raising funds—it’s about raising awareness,” said Alyssa Antonucci-Avenia, Director of Marketing & Communications. “When you Go Blue, you’re helping us reach more kids, expand programming and make a lasting impact on families throughout the Valley.”
