HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Boys and Girls Clubs of Hutchinson are still looking for help with their scholarship drive through the end of the month.
"We're at 32% of our goal," said Skip Wilson with the club. "I don't know how many times we've had young people experience something at the club, whether it be a field trip, an activity and all of a sudden, it just sparks something. Just a little donation as $5, getting a kid to the Cosmosphere, getting a kid somewhere could make a huge difference in that member's life down the road."
If you want to change the community, you start by helping youth grow up knowing that they are valued.
"That's what's been great about our program," Wilson said. "The money that we raise, everything goes to our local, stays in Reno County. It serves our Reno County kids. I say Reno County kids, because this summer we had kids from all over the county participating."
Wilson said the summer was really good.
"We were really pleased this summer," Wilson said. "We were about 90% capacity. We're starting to see that COVID shift. We're kind of getting back to our normal numbers, which I know our vision leaders are excited about. They love it when there's a lot of kids over there."
