Big thanks to American Highway for their support of Boys & Girls Club and the Fernley community! We appreciate all you do!
Our Fernley, NV team recently held a back-to-school drive, benefitting the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows. Backpacks were also provided to all plant employees' children. Making sure these kids are prepared to go back to school is just one small way for us to say, "thank you."
Free BGCTM membership and two months of free childcare is the cherry on top, but the real treat is a stronger, loving family dynamic. Join our next 10-week Strengthening Families Program starting in September for bonding and stronger connections. Email Naomi Valenzuela Nvalenzuela@bgctm.org for more information or to reserve your spot!
AT&T and Human-I-T provided youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows Donald L. Carano Youth & Teen Facility in Reno, Nevada, with 150 refurbished laptops and backpacks stuffed with school supplies last week to distribute to program youth in need. This distribution is part of a broader AT&T employee effort to help bridge the digital divide and equip 20,000 students across the country with laptops and backpacks as they head back to school. In addition to supplies like notebooks, pencils and headphones, the backpacks included cards of encouragement written by AT&T employees. “The impact of contributions, such as this from AT&T and Human-I-T for laptops and backpacks, goes beyond anything we can measure,” said Mike Wurm, President/CEO, Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows. “The confidence this gives our youth participants goes will go way beyond today. We thank AT&T for leading the way in helping to support our program participants so that they can succeed.” In Nevada, it’s estimated that 9% of households don’t have access to the internet or connected devices needed to fully participate in the online world, an issue known as the digital divide. “AT&T is proud to collaborate with organizations like Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows to help close the digital equity gap in Reno,” said Mark Blakeman, President, AT&T California and Nevada. “Connectivity is vital for students, and we’re glad we can provide these resources to those that need them most.” This effort is part of the AT&T Connected Learning® initiative to help address the digital divide through internet accessibility, affordability and safe adoption. AT&T is committing $5 billion to help 25 million people get and stay connected to high-speed internet by 2030.
Our community means so much to us and we're proud to provide meals necessary for kids to grow and thrive. Thank you to Arby's Foundation for supporting our efforts to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. @arbys
