Hello Friend of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta,
From all of us at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta, we hope that you are enjoying your summer, and staying safe in the midst of the surrounding wildfires.
As always, we are truly grateful to be able to provide young people with a safe, fun place to be where their strengths are celebrated—a place where they are empowered by the vital ideal that their dreams have no limits.
We want to thank all of our Club members for making this year's Summer of Fun one to cherish and remember. This summer, Club members were invited to dive deep into enriching programs such as STEM, sports & games, the arts, mt. biking, gardening, outdoor adventures, and so much more!

As ever, thank you all for your continuous support. Together, we are creating a brighter future for young people— one where they see life's challenges as opportunities, are fueled by hope, and are inspired to reach their full potential and fulfill their dreams.

One year ago, our dear friend and co-founder of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta, Jane Berry Deal, sadly passed away. To honor this incredible woman who impacted the lives and hearts of so many, the Club hosted a dedication ceremony with all of our Club members, staff, and Board of Directors where a special dedication plaque was presented to Jane Berry Deal's husband, Jerry Deal, in her memory.
|
|
The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta would not be here today without the vision, passion, and dedication of this inspirational woman. Jane Berry Deal is greatly missed and remembered throughout our organization, and her legacy continues to live on through the many lives that she has impacted.
And in the memorable words of Jane Berry Deal, "Onward & Upward!"

Thank you to all of our Club members who joined us for this year's Summer of Fun; you made this summer so memorable and wonderful just by being here. July was filled to the brim with enriching programs and exciting activities for our Club members such as STEM, the arts, mt. biking, swimming, sports & games, a special magic show "The Magic of Delbert Lee" and, of course, water week which landed on the hottest week of the year...Just to name a few!
To wrap up water week, youth had a blast at our Splish-Splash End-of-Summer Celebration which hosted a slew of special activities such as an epic water slide, even more water fun activities, a special guest balloon artist, caricature drawings, and more! Thank you to everyone who made this final day of camp so special, which certainly put so many smiles on our youth's faces!
Check out all the fun below!

Did you know that by simply purchasing your regular Amazon purchases through Amazon Smile, Amazon donates .05% of your purchases to the Club with no impact on your purchase total?
Let's break this down a bit...
According to Amazon, the average family spends about $100/month on Amazon purchases. That means over the course of a year, your purchases could result in a $60 donation to the Club. Multiply that by all of our supporters, and imagine the change you can make for Siskiyou County youth!
If you have any questions, please call our Office at 530-220-7623.
