The Boys & Girls Club of Cypress is joining clubs across America this week to celebrate National Boys & Girls Club Week by hosting several events to emphasize the importance and value of the clubs to the community.

 
Every year, Boys & Girls Clubs around the nation select individuals that exemplify characteristics of what it means to be an outstanding club member. Cypress members are selected based on the framework of the Six Pillars of Character – trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. This year, the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress selected two members as Youths of the Year, Danny Delgado of the Moody branch and Kimberly Ramirez of Club Swain.
 
The Boys & Girls Club of Cypress received a military outreach award from Boys & Girls Clubs of America for offering children of reserve, guard, and active duty families free membership to the local clubs, through a program called Mission: Youth Outreach.
 
21st CENTURY COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER GRANT APPLICATION
The Boys & Girls Club has applied for federal funding. If this grant is approved we will be able to serve an additional 120 low-income children during the 2009-10 school year. We also applied to receive funds to  help another 60 low-income during the summer and provide transportation for those children.  It is a very competitive grant process, but our kids and community need the services and are counting on the Club. Safe, enriching afterschool programs help families to work and remain self-sufficient in these difficult economic times.
 

The AT&T Foundation generously donated $5000 to support the Power Hour program at the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress.  The check was presented by Mr John Heffernan, the Director of External Affairs for AT&T. City of Cypress Mayor Doug Bailey, Board President Lt. Jeff Kepley, and Sgt Tom Bruce were present to receive the check on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Club.
