Future Ready!
2024-2025 Annual Campaign
For nearly 77 years, the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton has been inspiring our city’s young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.
Through your generosity, we have continued to deliver this mission to 6,000 children each year.
Each year, the Annual Campaign–our most important fundraising campaign–raises critical funds in support of our important mission. Our theme this year – Future Ready—is part of the Boys & Girls Club’s commitment to preparing today’ kids to be the best they can be in the future.
