Boys and Girls Club of North Valley

Fundraising For The Club

Community Fundraising!

Throughout the year we have many groups that propose fundraisers on behalf of the Boys & Girls Club and have worked successfully in generating much-needed dollars for our youth. Our board has developed and approved the following policies and procedures to clarify our expectations and our role in your event and to avoid any misunderstanding.   

 These policies have arisen out of our experiences working with many well-intentioned groups and organizations in the community who have contributed greatly to the success of the Boys & Girls Club. We trust that you will understand that our reputation is very important to us. We want to ensure that our name is not associated with events that are either inappropriate for youth fundraising or fraudulent. We also want to respect our very generous business community from being “over-solicited” by our enthusiastic supporters.
 
Please understand that if you are planning a fundraiser for the club you must be able to conduct the fundraiser without relying on the resources of our organization to make your fundraiser successful.  We cannot supply funds, staffing, volunteers, participants or attendees to your event or rely on our staff or youth to sell tickets.  We simply do not have the resources to do this for everyone who contacts us. We are happy to inform ourboard, staff, parents and youth of the event.
 
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley relies on the generosity of its community and we greatly appreciate your efforts. Please know that we will do what we can to help support your event. Contact our Development Department for more information.  Thank you.
