The Club depends on the generosity of our partners, supporters and investors. Each is vital to the organization's continued ability to save the lives of at-risk kids in Pawtucket. We are honored by the strong commitment of individuals, businesses and foundations, and we appreciate every gift – large and small. All donations are investments in the lives of our Club members. Additionally, we always welcome new supporters whose interest enables us to increase our network of resources.

Today, the fee for a child's membership card, for all we provide, is still only $30 a year – and many cannot afford even this. It is intentionally inexpensive because we want every child and family in Pawtucket to have access to this Club – no child is EVER turned away.

Furthermore, the cost to the Club for the programs and opportunities we provide is about $600 a year for each youth we serve.

And that is why we ask you and others for your support -- to help us invest strategically in Pawtucket's kids so that we can fulfill our mission by giving Club youth in need every chance to thrive and succeed.

Financial Support
Individual donors are integral to the well-being of the Club. The kind generosity of many people during the Annual Appeal, directly and indirectly, touches the lives of our 4,000 kids.
