Albert Chege 2019 Youth of the Year! To me and so many others, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central

Alabama has become more of a second home. It’s a place to

meet new friends, a place that supports academic success, and

a place to have fun!

For nearly 120 years, the Club has been committed to serving

the youth of Central Alabama. As the 2019 Youth of the Year for

our organization, I have the privilege of witnessing its impact

firsthand. The Club has been a place where I’ve learned to be

my best!

Once again, I would like to thank you for being constant

supporters of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Alabama. Your

investment has a positive impact on the youth of the Club and

especially on me. On behalf of the thousands of youth served

by the Club every year…

Thank you for investing in our future!
