Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Illinois

In August, we said goodbye to Cordy Love our Vice Chair Board Member.

Cordy helped serve the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Illinois for 6 years. Throughout his time with us, he served as Vice Chair, Chair of the Safety Committee along with help contributing to other committees like Board Development and Resource Development.

We thank you Cordy for supporting our mission, supporting our youth and our community. Your hard work and dedication during these years of highs and lows will never go unnoticed. BGCSI wishes you all the best! 💙
