A GoFundMe fundraiser to help the The Boys & Girls Clubs of Pasadena has raised over $6,600 of its $10,000 goal.
“Ranging from learning loss to increased mental health issues to lack of social stimulation, pandemic recovery has become the urgent, dedicated focus of the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena,” said the page’s organizer.
The Pasadena Boys & Girls Clubs shared what they are doing to meet the need of the community:
- Offer every Club member academic support, including tutoring weekly for kids in need. Over 30 tutors have provided thousands of minutes tutoring Club members since the pandemic began.
- Pair every middle school and teen member with a mentor, who checks in with them daily and provides critical emotional and mental health supports.
- Offer a safe, hands-on space for kids to discover, play, and explore, like by climbing the rock wall and making fun and messy art.
According to The Boys & Girls Clubs of Pasadena, the funds will be used for high-impact academic programs, including tutoring, and for emotional and mental health supports for all members.
OpenX, an independent ad exchange network for publishers and demand partners, recently agreed to match $5,000 towards the campaign if it reaches its $10,000 goal.
