This year’s Pistons Care Telethon will help fund memberships, programs and initiatives to help children enhance their lives in the areas of character and leadership education and career development the arts sports, fitness and recreation and health and life skills.
The cost of an annual membership for a child is only $50, however the actual cost of delivering a year of service is $500 per child. Members can participate in many programs and activities with each receiving the individual attention they need when they visit their Club, which is often the third most frequented location in that child’s life besides their home and school.

The Boys & Girls Clubs enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. For more information on the organization and their mission, please visit www.bgcsm.org.
