A letter from BGCSF President Rob Connolly to supporters:
Not surprisingly, this has been a deeply challenging last four and half months. I am really proud of our staff, our staff leadership, our Board of Governors, our partners, and our donors.
We pushed through every obstacle in our pathway, and I am proud to share the following highlights and milestones since March 17:
Looking Ahead
As we prepare for the new school year with no signs of the health crisis abating, our team is gearing up for more frontline services. The disproportionate impact of this pandemic on people of color shines a light on the complex barriers to success that our families face. BGCSF remains resolute in standing on the side of the kids and families who need us most. Our plan, provided the new health order allows for it, is to keep ten sites open while continuing to offer virtual services at no less than eight locations.
The support of the BGCSF community has enabled us to build a strong foundation of people, places, financial resources, and trust. We are confident that we will EMERGE STRONG from this crisis. These are challenging times for everyone, but so much more challenging for some. The Club is and will continue to be a critical beacon of hope for kids and families.
My best to you and yours,
Rob Connolly
President
