The Boys & Girls Club of Western Benton County recently received a check in the amount of $2,500 from the employees of La-Z-Boy Arkansas in Siloam Springs to support the youth scholarship program for families in need and the support of leadership development of the staff for training and development.
The Boys & Girls Club is committed to increasing its positive impact in Western Benton County by making after-school and summer programs more accessible to children and their families. These programs enhance the quality of life for both children and their families by not only providing youth access to a safe place, caring adults, and recreational activities, but also allows parents to work with the peace of mind that their children are being cared for and protected. These funds will provide scholarships for families in need and ensure young people have access to the Boys & Girls Club quality after-school and summer programs. These programs, both recreational and educational, fulfill a need for both parents and their children in communities along the Highway 59 Corridor.
"It is such a blessing to have support from our local partners like La-Z-Boy that choose to invest in the young people from this community and to be a part of our organization," said Chris Shimer, Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Western Benton County.
