Sports and teamwork are an integral part of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater St. Louis experience, and club members enjoyed two opportunities in September.
Members of the organization’s Herbert Hoover Club (HHC) sharpened their basketball skills and had fun on Sept. 11, when they hit the court with players from the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy basketball team.
HHC Club members participated in a special clinic where they not only played a lively game but also picked up valuable tips from college-level players.
“This was more than just a game — it was an opportunity for our kids to see what dedication, sportsmanship, and hard work looks like at the next level,” said BGCSTL President and CEO Brandon Williams.
“The smiles on their faces said it all.”
The Boys & Girls Club’s Bethalto Club members joined NASCAR at the World Wide Technology Raceway on Sept. 7, in Madison, Illinois. Through a national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, BGCSTL is an official youth community partner for NASCAR.
Club members had behind-the-scenes access and premier seating for the race at World Wide Technology Raceway.
