Boys & Girls Clubs of America is spearheading a national effort to establish Boys & Girls Clubs Day for Kids as an “official day” to celebrate our most valuable resource – our kids. Unlike most, the U.S. is one of the few nations that do not have an official day set aside to honor its young people. This year it is estimated millions of parents and kids will participate in more than 2,000 Day for Kids events held by Boys & Girls Clubs, and other organizations nationwide.
