Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse

The Polar Express reminds us, "The magic of Christmas lies in your heart," we believe the magic lies within our community. We have been so touched by the outpouring of support for our members this holiday season. We were able to give gifts to over 200 members, an additional 17 families as well as supporting additional requests from community members. We are beyond thankful to the East Genesee Resident Association, 95X, Terakeet, SmartestEnergy Ltd., the Onondaga County Democratic Committee,the Romano Auto Dealerships and SpinCar. On behalf of our leadership, our staff and our members- Thank you, thank you, thank you!
