CONNECT THE DOT

BGCD Competes in Dell Technologies Charity Shootout: Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester President and CEO, Bob Scannell, and WBZ news anchor, David Wade, had the chance to compete on behalf of BGCD at the Dell Technologies Charity Shootout at Fenway Park last week.

At this golf style tournament, competitors were given one swing from behind home plate in an effort to shoot a hole-in-one into the outfield – anyone able to make it having the opportunity to win 1 million dollars for their charity.

While no one got a hole-in-one, the shot closest to the pin won an incredible $25,000. Bob and David both came close, but Steve Burton took the winning swing, earning $25,000 for the Hockomock Area YMCA. Congratulations to all of the participants and charities of the day!

DID YOU KNOW

BGCD Returns to Camp Northbound: The Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester will be returning to Camp Northbound for the 13th year next week. 150 campers and 25 staff members come together in Bridgton, Maine each summer to grow, learn about themselves and others, and to have a great time!

Campers participate in tons of fun activities such as water sports, rock climbing, arts and crafts, archery, hiking, campfires and more! Campers usually return year after year, making the camp community consistent and the Northbound camp spirit strong.

The camp is run by a combined staff of Camp Micah counselors and Club staff who work together to make Camp Northbound an exciting, meaningful, and memorable experience for everyone. We are looking forward to this exciting upcoming trip!
