Make a positive impact
News & Events
Each year, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pee Dee Area recognize a Champion for Youth, and this year we are excited to recognize longtime supporter and board member Erik Marechal. This year's event will be held on Tuesday, September 16, in the lobby of the SiMT - Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology at Florence-Darlington Technical College, 1951 Pisgah Road, Florence.
America Needs Club Kids: the America of tomorrow will be shaped by the way we invest in kids today – and places like Boys & Girls Clubs open the door for a future generation who will propel our country forward.
Setting goals is simple. We’ve all heard different phrases, acronyms and ways to properly set a goal for life. However, accomplishing goals can be a whole different task. At Boys & Girls Club, staff help Club members develop step-by-step plans to reach their goals. 75% of our Club members say that, "If I set goals, I take action to reach them."
We offer a wide range of programs to meet the needs of those affected by our cause.

-
Michael Woods * from the 90sThe Club has provided me with a lot of my “first” experiences: traveling in and out of SC, staying overnight in a hotel, riding on an airplane, and even my first job. I don’t know where I would have ended up had it not been for the Club.
