AGC Makes it Easier to Support the Boys & Girls Clubs of America!

In order to help AGC members and Chapters sponsor Build Up! kits, we are holding a buy-one-get-one-free sale (or buy one Build Up! kit for only $100). AGC Build Up! kits are an engaging educational resource for young people to learn about the construction industry and the careers it offers. We are hoping that by bringing down the price, AGC members and Chapters will be able to provide more kits to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America that have asked for sponsors. The Boys & Girls Clubs of America have asked AGC to provide more than 400 kits to some of their more than 4,000 clubhouses across the nation, serving more than 5 million young people, many inner-city youths. To date, AGC Chapters and members have provided more than 100 kits, but we still have outstanding requests for more than 300 kits. Find out if there is a Boys & Girls Club in your area in need of support. Visit AGC’s interactive Build Up! map. Click on your state to see a list of communities that have requested Build Up! kits. It’s easy to sponsor! Just visit the AGC Bookstore and place your order for the Build Up! kit, Item No. CF40.  You automatically will receive the discount. Kits may be designated for delivery to your shipping address or directly to the club of your choice. Please note: this sale is available to anyone who wants to buy a Build Up! kit, regardless of whether the recipient is a Girl Scout or Boy Scout troop, a fifth-grade classroom, an after-school program, a community library, a Boys & Girls Club, or some other recipient. If you have any questions please contact Liv Elvin at elvinl@agc.org or 703-837-56389.
