Friday we were thrilled to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Richard T. Farmer Club opening in the Village of Roll Hill! Prior to Friday's grand opening, the Roll Hill community only had a BGCGC presence through a small school-partner club. However, with the success of that program, BGCGC has invested in the community via a freestanding BGCGC facility capable of serving more than 300 youth annually, from kindergarten through 12th grade. The new club provides expanded after-school programming, summer camps and mentorship programs for youth in one of Cincinnati's most underserved neighborhoods. Dignitaries in attendance included Mayor Aftab Pureval for Mayor, former Mayor @John Cranley, BGCGC Board Chair and Skyline Chili CEO @Dick Williams, as well as @Mary Beth Martin, Executive Director of the Farmer Family Foundation, and representatives from the Roll Hill Community Center.

Introducing A New Generation of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati. For over 85 years, we’ve been changing lives and building great futures for kids across our city. But we see where we have the potential—and the responsibility—to do more. We must deepen our impact, serve more youth, and better prepare Greater Cincinnati’s next generation for success. That’s why we’ve embarked on A New Generation, a $50 million capital campaign—to transform the future for local youth. This initiative will: 🔹 Expand access to life-changing programs for more youth 🔹 Provide long-overdue improvements to our Clubs 🔹 Increase wages for the staff who mentor and guide our kids 🔹 Build Greater Cincinnati’s first Youth Workforce Development Center, ensuring our teens have the skills and resources to build strong futures. 🔹 Build the Richard T. Farmer Club, expanding and deepening our services in the Villages of Roll Hill With $44.4 million already raised, we are closer than ever to making this vision a reality. But we can’t do it alone. Join us in shaping a stronger future for our kids and community. Together, we can build a New Generation. Donate today at https://lnkd.in/eP_WbEDs
