The Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County
Tornado Service Project May 2011
Members of the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County started the "Build Up Hope" project in the
aftermath of the recent tornados that changed the lives of so many families. The
Club collected 8 large boxes of clothing, cleaning products, linens, food and
other essential items. They have also received monetary donations totaling $1,052.
These donations are being used to help Club members' families whose homes were
damaged or destroyed and to assist others in Johnston County whose lives were
also affected. Club members wanted to show their neighbors that the community
cares and to "Build Up Hope" in a time when it seems like all hope is gone.
These are the things that are needed now and can be taken
to the
Boys & Girls Club located at 609 Pollock Street, Selma, NC (919-965-5240)

Boys
& Girls Clubs of Johnston County Attended a Carolina Hurricanes Game!
In
February 2011, members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County attended a
Carolina Hurricanes game! They viewed the hockey game from an all-inclusive suite
that was donated by Eric Staal and his wife, Tanya. The Staal's donate the suite
to organizations such as ours that support young people. Club members were served
hotdogs, popcorn, cookies, and drinks. The suite included 2 big screen TV's, leather
stadium seating, and a private bathroom. The Hurricanes' Staff visited the suite
throughout the game taking pictures and leading the Club Members in cheers for
the team. In addition, each Club Member received a t-shirt signed by Eric. Everyone
had a fabulous time!
