More Members and Chapters Sponsor Build Up! Kits

Thanks to Shelco, Inc., the Georgia Branch, AGC, and the Oregon-Columbia Chapter, which all sponsored Build Up! kits for Boys & Girls Clubs in their respective states last week. Shelco is sending two kits to Raleigh, the Georgia chapter is sending two to Atlanta, and the Oregon-Columbia chapter answered the call for the only request in its state. AGC still has outstanding requests for hundreds of kits from clubs around the nation. Please visit our interactive map to see if there’s a club in your area looking for kits. All potential sponsors have to do is click on their state to find out which communities have requested kits, and how many kits each community seeks. A hot link will allow you to email Liz Elvin, AGC Director of Workforce Development, to inform her of your desire to sponsor kits. Liz will then send you the club’s mailing address. Sponsors can then go to our online bookstore: www.agc.org/bookstore and order kits to be shipped either directly to the club or to themselves for personal delivery. Boys & Girls Clubs serve nearly 5 million youths from more than 4,000, primarily inner-city, clubhouses. Each kit costs $199 plus shipping and would be shipped directly to the requesting club or to your firm if you’d like to deliver the kit in person. Additionally, AGC will send to the club a letter telling the club the name of the sponsoring AGC member or chapter.
