π **Van Fundraiser Update: Weβre Over Halfway There!**
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Boys & Girls Club of Austin County has raised **$32,000 toward our $60,000 van fundraiser goal!** That means we are **53% funded** with **$28,000 left to go** to upgrade our 2006 Van.
We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has already contributed, shared, encouraged, and supported this effort. Every gift brings us closer to securing reliable transportation for the youth we serve.
A van may sound like transportation, but for our Club, it means **access and opportunity.**
This van will support youth across multiple programs, including:
β
Afterschool Program transportationo needs
β
Summer Program field trips and enrichment outings
β
Basketball Program transportation needs
β
Teen Program and Keystone leadership opportunities
Each day afterschool and throughout the summer, the Boys & Girls Club of Austin County serves approximately **125 youth daily**. Reliable transportation helps make sure our Club members can participate in safe, structured, and positive experiences that help them learn, grow, stay active, and stay connected.
For some families, transportation can be the difference between a child being able to participate or missing out. This van will help remove that barrier.
We are asking businesses, community partners, families, alumni, and friends of the Club to consider making a contribution to help us reach the finish line.
π **Goal:** $60,000
π **Raised:** $32,000
π **Remaining Need:** $28,000
When you give, you are not just helping us buy a van. You are helping provide access to field trips, afterschool support, basketball opportunities, teen leadership experiences, and positive youth development programs.
You are investing in future workers, future parents, future leaders, future community members, and future changemakers.
